Caleb Meyer lyrics
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
