There's A Star Above The Manger Tonight

Lyrics

brandy and rye, the magpies are stirring

lay down your last 20 dollars

shepherds dead sober, whispering numbers

there's a star above the manger tonight

devil gets wise when you start to win

dead from your pleasure too soon

horse flies are flying slow

heavy from your remains

silver green many mansions above us

wash up your hands before you dive in

sweet baby jesus give me luck at the tables there's a star above the manger tonight

turn down the lighthouse low

let the lost keep staying lost

shepherds dead sober, whispering numbers

there's a star above the manger tonight
