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
