When I Die

Watson Family

Compositor: E. Miller

A horrible sight I'll now relate,
On Yadkin Elk it did take place,
On Christmas morning at nine o'clock,
The people met an awful shock.
At Marshall Triplett's this begun.
The brothers met, it seemed in fun.
They drank together all as one,
And then the trouble it begun.
Then Marshall seemed to stand in the rear,
and struck Columbus with the chair.
