Capo on the 5th fret
Am G
Caleb Meyer he lived alone, In them hollerin pines
G D Am
And he made a little whiskey for himself said it helped to pass the time
Am G
Long one evening in back of my house, Caleb come around
G D Am
And he called my name till I went out, With no-one else around
Am G
Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains
G D Am
But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name
Am G
Where's your husband Nellie Cane, Wheres your darlin' gone?
G D Am
Did he go on down the mountainside, and leave you all alone?
Am G
Yes my husband's gone to Bowling Green, to do some business there
G D Am
Then Caleb threw that bottle down, And grabbed me by my hair
Am G
Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains
G D Am
But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name
Am G
He threw me in the needle bed, Across my dress he lay
G D Am
He pinned my hands above my head, And I commenced to pray
Am G
I cried my God I am your child, Send your angels down
G D Am
Then feeling with my finger tips, The bottle neck I found
Am G
I drew that glass across his neck, Fine as any blade
G D Am
Then I felt his blood pour fast and hot, Around me where I laid
Am G
Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains
G D Am
But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name
Am G
Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains
G D Am
But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name
have fun playing the song!
