The Story Of The Lawson Family (Live) - The Stanley Brothers[00:00:00]
Written by:Carter Stanley/Ralph Stanley/Larry Ehrlich[00:00:01]
It was on last christmas evening[00:00:39]
The snow was on the ground[00:00:45]
At his home in north carolina[00:00:51]
The murderer he was found[00:00:57]
His name was Charlie Lawson[00:01:04]
And he had a loving wife[00:01:10]
But they never knew what caused him[00:01:16]
To take his family's life[00:01:22]
They say he killed his wife at first[00:01:29]
And the little one did cry[00:01:35]
Please papa won't you spare us[00:01:41]
How it is so hard to die[00:01:47]
But the raging man could not be stopped[00:02:18]
He would not heed their call[00:02:24]
He kept on firing fatal shots[00:02:31]
Until he killed them all[00:02:37]
They say he killed his wife at first[00:02:45]
And the little one did cry[00:02:51]
Please papa won't you spare us[00:02:57]
How it is so hard to die[00:03:03]
They did not carry him to jail[00:03:10]
No lawyers would be paid[00:03:17]
They'll have his trial in another land[00:03:23]
On the final judgement day[00:03:29]
They all were buried in a crowded grave[00:04:01]
While the angels watched from above[00:04:07]
Come home come home my little ones[00:04:13]
To the land of peace and lord[00:04:20]
And now farewell come friends in home[00:04:27]
I'll see you here no more[00:04:33]
But when we meet in another land[00:04:40]
Our troubles will be all[00:04:46]
