[Verse 1]
D A
Was on one Christmas evening
A D D7
The snow lay on the ground
G D
Near his home in North Carolina
A7 D
In this murder he was found
[Verse 2]
D A
His name was Charlie Lawson
A D D7
And he had a loving wife
G D
So, we'll never know what caused him
A7 D
To take his family's life
[Verse 3]
D A
They say he killed his wife at first
A D D7
And the little ones did cry
G D
"Please, Papa, won't you spare our lives?
A7 D
For it is so hard to die!"
[Verse 4]
D A
But, the raging man could not be stopped
A D D7
He would not heed their call
G D
Just kept on firing fatal shots
A7 D
Until he killed them all

[Verse 5]
D A
And when this sad, sad news was heard
A D D7
It was an awful surprise
G D
He had killed six children and his wife
A7 D
And then he closed their eyes
[Verse 6]
D A
And now, farewell, kind friends and home
A D D7
I'll see you all no more
G D
Into my breast I'll fire one shot
A7 D
And then my troubles will be o'er
[Verse 7]
D A
They did not carry him to jail
A D D7
No lawyers did he pay
G D
But they'll have his trial in a-nother world
A7 D
On the final Judgement Day
