[Verse 1]
C G
Was on one Christmas evening
G C C7
The snow lay on the ground
F C
Near his home in North Carolina
G7 C
In this murder he was found
[Verse 2]
C G
His name was Charlie Lawson
G C C7
And he had a loving wife
F C
So, we'll never know what caused him
G7 C
To take his family's life
[Verse 3]
C G
They say he killed his wife at first
G C C7
And the little ones did cry
F C
"Please, Papa, won't you spare our lives?
G7 C
For it is so hard to die!"
[Verse 4]
C G
But, the raging man could not be stopped
G C C7
He would not heed their call
F C
Just kept on firing fatal shots
G7 C
Until he killed them all

[Verse 5]
C G
And when this sad, sad news was heard
G C C7
It was an awful surprise
F C
He had killed six children and his wife
G7 C
And then he closed their eyes
[Verse 6]
C G
And now, farewell, kind friends and home
G C C7
I'll see you all no more
F C
Into my breast I'll fire one shot
G7 C
And then my troubles will be o'er
[Verse 7]
C G
They did not carry him to jail
G C C7
No lawyers did he pay
F C
But they'll have his trial in a-nother world
G7 C
On the final Judgement Day
