[Verse 1]
G D
Was on one Christmas evening
D G G7
The snow lay on the ground
C G
Near his home in North Carolina
D7 G
In this murder he was found
[Verse 2]
G D
His name was Charlie Lawson
D G G7
And he had a loving wife
C G
So, we'll never know what caused him
D7 G
To take his family's life
[Verse 3]
G D
They say he killed his wife at first
D G G7
And the little ones did cry
C G
"Please, Papa, won't you spare our lives?
D7 G
For it is so hard to die!"
[Verse 4]
G D
But, the raging man could not be stopped
D G G7
He would not heed their call
C G
Just kept on firing fatal shots
D7 G
Until he killed them all

[Verse 5]
G D
And when this sad, sad news was heard
D G G7
It was an awful surprise
C G
He had killed six children and his wife
D7 G
And then he closed their eyes
[Verse 6]
G D
And now, farewell, kind friends and home
D G G7
I'll see you all no more
C G
Into my breast I'll fire one shot
D7 G
And then my troubles will be o'er
[Verse 7]
G D
They did not carry him to jail
D G G7
No lawyers did he pay
C G
But they'll have his trial in a-nother world
D7 G
On the final Judgement Day
