Rate Caleb Meyer
Artist : Welch gillian Song : Caleb meyer 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
