[Verse 1]
B F#
Was on one Christmas evening
F# B B7
The snow lay on the ground
E B
Near his home in North Carolina
F#7 B
In this murder he was found
[Verse 2]

His name was Charlie Lawson
F# B B7
And he had a loving wife

So, we'll never know what caused him
F#7 B
To take his family's life
[Verse 3]
B F#
They say he killed his wife at first
F# B B7
And the little ones did cry
E B
"Please, Papa, won't you spare our lives?
F#7 B
For it is so hard to die!"
[Verse 4]
B F#
But, the raging man could not be stopped

He would not heed their call

Just kept on firing fatal shots

Until he killed them all

[Verse 5]
B F#
And when this sad, sad news was heard
F# B B7
It was an awful surprise

He had killed six children and his wife

And then he closed their eyes
[Verse 6]
B F#
And now, farewell, kind friends and home
F# B B7
I'll see you all no more
E B
Into my breast I'll fire one shot
F#7 B
And then my troubles will be o'er
[Verse 7]

They did not carry him to jail
F# B B7
No lawyers did he pay
E B
But they'll have his trial in a-nother world
F#7 B
On the final Judgement Day
