[Verse 1]
C# G#
Was on one Christmas evening
G# C# C#7
The snow lay on the ground
F# C#
Near his home in North Carolina
G#7 C#
In this murder he was found
[Verse 2]
C# G#
His name was Charlie Lawson
G# C# C#7
And he had a loving wife
F# C#
So, we'll never know what caused him
G#7 C#
To take his family's life
[Verse 3]
C# G#
They say he killed his wife at first
G# C# C#7
And the little ones did cry
F# C#
"Please, Papa, won't you spare our lives?
G#7 C#
For it is so hard to die!"
[Verse 4]
C# G#
But, the raging man could not be stopped
G# C# C#7
He would not heed their call
F# C#
Just kept on firing fatal shots
G#7 C#
Until he killed them all
[Instrumental]

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