On Christmas at nine o'clock,
The people met an shock.
At Triplett's this begun.
The met, it seemed in fun.
drank together all as one,
And then the it begun.
Then seemed to stand in the rear,
and struck with the chair,
"There is one that I do know,
You drink to save your own."
They met in near the barn.
Mrs. Triplett went to stop wrong.
Columbus stabbed in the thigh,
And left him on the to die.
Then Marshall's wife in distress
Stayed by her while in death.
The children's screams was around,
Which did produce a sound.
Lum went off at to go away
And met Gran on his way.
At Leroy Triplett's was said,
Lum to Gran, "Your father's dead."
Lum to Gran, "I'll let you know,
I've killed your at his home.
I'll now up to thee.
You me kindly if you please."

Which brought to his grave.
Those brothers in the same graveyard,
Their wives and children hard,
Their resting place there must be,
Till shall rise at Judgement Day.
At Judgement Day we hope rise
To their Savior in the skies.
To God's praises o'er and o'er,
And be with forever more.

And at place he was then found.

And sent him on to the gang.
For eighteen months he must stay,
Except the governor him pray.
Young men, take by this case,
Don't use strong while in life's race.
Leave all such stuff far behind,
And your kind parents you mind.
