About

This song was originally recorded by the Carolina Buddies in 1930. On Christmas Day 1929, Charles Lawson murdered his wife and six of his seven children (the eldest son, who was in town during the events, survived). The tragedy gripped the small rural town of Germanton, NC, and the family was buried...

The Murder of the Lawson Family Lyrics

[Verse 1: Sharon Needles]
It was on last Christmas evening
The snow was on the ground
His home in North Carolina
Where the murder was bound

[Verse 2: Sharon Needles]
His name was Charlie Lawson
And he had a loving wife
But, we'll never know what caused him
To take his family's li-i-ife

[Verse 3: Sharon Needles]
They say he killed his wife the first
And the little ones did cry
"Please, Papa, won't you spare our lives?
For it is so hard to die!"

[Verse 4: Sharon Needles]
But, the raging man could not be stopped
He would not heed their call
He kept on firing fatal shots
Until he killed them a-a-all

[Verse 5: Sharon Needles]
And when the sad, sad news was heard
It was a great surprise
He killed six children and his wife
And then he closed their eyes

[Verse 6: Sharon Needles]
And now, farewell, great friends at home
I'll see you all no more
Into my breast I'll fire one fatal shot
And then my troubles will be over

[Verse 7: Sharon Needles]
They did not carry him to jail
No lawyers did he pay
He'll have his trial in another world
On the final Judgement Day

[Verse 8: Sharon Needles]
They were all buried in a crowded grave
While Angels watched above
Come home, come home my little ones
To the land of peace and love
