[Verse 1]
E B
Was on one Christmas evening
B E E7
The snow lay on the ground
A E
Near his home in North Carolina
B7 E
In this murder he was found
[Verse 2]
E B
His name was Charlie Lawson
B E E7
And he had a loving wife
A E
So, we'll never know what caused him
B7 E
To take his family's life
[Verse 3]
E B
They say he killed his wife at first
B E E7
And the little ones did cry
A E
"Please, Papa, won't you spare our lives?
B7 E
For it is so hard to die!"
[Verse 4]
E B
But, the raging man could not be stopped
B E E7
He would not heed their call
A E
Just kept on firing fatal shots
B7 E
Until he killed them all

[Verse 5]
E B
And when this sad, sad news was heard
B E E7
It was an awful surprise
A E
He had killed six children and his wife
B7 E
And then he closed their eyes
[Verse 6]
E B
And now, farewell, kind friends and home
B E E7
I'll see you all no more
A E
Into my breast I'll fire one shot
B7 E
And then my troubles will be o'er
[Verse 7]
E B
They did not carry him to jail
B E E7
No lawyers did he pay
A E
But they'll have his trial in a-nother world
B7 E
On the final Judgement Day
