[Verse 1]
A E
Was on one Christmas evening
E A A7
The snow lay on the ground
D A
Near his home in North Carolina
E7 A
In this murder he was found
[Verse 2]
A E
His name was Charlie Lawson
E A A7
And he had a loving wife
D A
So, we'll never know what caused him
E7 A
To take his family's life
[Verse 3]
A E
They say he killed his wife at first
E A A7
And the little ones did cry
D A
"Please, Papa, won't you spare our lives?
E7 A
For it is so hard to die!"
[Verse 4]
A E
But, the raging man could not be stopped
E A A7
He would not heed their call
D A
Just kept on firing fatal shots
E7 A
Until he killed them all

[Verse 5]
A E
And when this sad, sad news was heard
E A A7
It was an awful surprise
D A
He had killed six children and his wife
E7 A
And then he closed their eyes
[Verse 6]
A E
And now, farewell, kind friends and home
E A A7
I'll see you all no more
D A
Into my breast I'll fire one shot
E7 A
And then my troubles will be o'er
[Verse 7]
A E
They did not carry him to jail
E A A7
No lawyers did he pay
D A
But they'll have his trial in a-nother world
E7 A
On the final Judgement Day
