I figured out most of the lyrics, but there are a
few spots where I'm not quite sure.
Hence, the
dashes.
Caleb Meyer, he lived alone
In them
hollarin' pines
And he made a little whiskey for
himself
Sip it up to pass the time
At the back of
my house
Caleb come around
And he called my name
'til i went out
An' no one else around
Caleb
Meyer, your ghost is gonna wear them rattlin'
chains
But when I go to sleep at night, don't you
call my name
Where's your husband, Nelly
Cane?
Where's your darling gone?
Did he go on
down the mountain side and leave you all
alone?
Yes, my husband'd gone to ---- to do some
business there
Then Caleb threw that bottle down
and grabbed me by my hair
Caleb Meyer, your
ghost is gonna wear them rattlin' chains
But when
I go to sleep at night, don't you call my
name
He threw me in the needle bed
Across my
dress he lay
Then he pinned my hands above my
head and I began to pray
I cried my God, I am
your child
Send your angels down
Then feeling
with my fingertips, a bottleneck I found
An' I
tore that glass across his neck
---------
Then I
felt his blood pour fast and hot 'round me where
I lay
Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna wear them
rattlin' chains
But when I go to sleep at night,
don't you call my name
Caleb Meyer, your ghost is
gonna wear them rattlin' chains
But when I go to
sleep at night, don't you call my name
