歌曲歌詞
It was on one Christmas evening
The snow was on the ground
At his home in North Carolina
The murderer he was found
His name was Charlie Lawson
And he had a loving wife
But they never knew what caused him
To take his family's life
They say he killed his wife at first
And the little one did cry
Please papa won't you spare us
How it is so hard to die
But the raging man could not be stopped
He would not heed their call
He kept on firing fatal shots
Until he killed them all
They did not carry him to jail
No lawyers would be paid
They'll have his trial in another land
On the final judgement day
They all were buried in a crowded grave
While the angels watched from above
Come home come home my little ones
To the land of peace and lord
And now farewell come friends and home
I'll see you here no more
But when we meet in another land
Our troubles will be all
