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

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