Lyrics There's A Star Above The Manger Tonight - Red Red Meat

There's A Star Above The Manger Tonight

Brandy and Rye, the Magpies are stirring
Lay down your last twenty dollars
Shepherds are dead sober, whispering numbers
There’s a star above the manger tonight
The Devil gets wise when you start to win
Dead from your pleasures too soon
Horseflies 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 are dead sober, whispering numbers
There’s a star above the manger tonight
