Lyrics & chords
[Verse 1] [G]It was on last Christmas Evening A snow was [D]on [G]the ground In [C]a home in North Car[G]olina Where the [C]murder [G]he [C]was fou[G]nd His name was Charlie [D]Lawson And he had a loving [G]wife But we'll [C]never know what [G]caused him To [D]take his [G]family's life. [D][G] [Verse 2] They say he killed his [D]wife at first And the little ones did [G]cry "Please [C]papa, papa, [G]spare our lives For [D]it is so hard to [G]die". But the raging man could [D]not be stopped He would not heed their [G]call And he [C]kept on firing [G]fatal shots Un[D]til he killed them [G]all [D][G] [Verse 3] And when the sad, sad [D]news was heard It was a great [G]surprise He [C]killed six children [G]and his wife And [D]then he closed their [G]eyes "And now farewell, kind [D]friends and home I'II see you all no [G]more In[C]to my heart I'll [G]fire a fatal shot Then my [D]troubles will be [G]o'er." [D][G][D][G] [Interlude 1] [D][G][C][G][D][G] [Verse 4] They [G]did not carry [D]him to jail No lawyers did he [G]pay He'll [C]have his trial in [G]another world On the [D]final judgment [G]day They all were buried in a [D]crowded grave While angels watched [G]above "Come [C]home, come home, my [G]little ones To the [D]land of peace and [G]love." "Come [C]home, come home, [G]my little ones To the [D]land of peace and love."
