George Strait Picture
George Harvey Strait (born May 18, 1952) is an American country music artist. George Strait has marked a monumental career achievement by having more number one hit singles than any living artist, a total of 52, second only to the late Conway Twitty. Out of all the new country singers to emerge in the early '80s, George Strait stayed the closest to traditional country. Drawing from both the honky tonk and Western swing traditions, Strait didn't refashion the genres; instead, he revitalized them for a new decade. In the process, he became one of the most popular and influential singers of the decade, sparking a wave of neo-traditionalist singers from Randy Travis and Dwight Yoakam to Clint Black, Garth Brooks, and Alan Jackson.

Away In A Manger Lyrics

George Strait

(Arrangement: George Strait)

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky look donw where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle all glory the baby awakes
Buy little Lord Jesus no crying he makes
I love the Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is night

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky look donw where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
