Caleb Meyer Lyrics |
||
 Caleb Meyer, he lived aloneIn them hollarin` pines Then he made a little whiskey for himself Said it helped pass the time Long one evening in back of my house, Caleb come around And he called my name `til I went out with 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, Nellie Kane Where`s your darlin gone? Did he go down off the mountain side and leave you all alone? Yes, my husband`s gone to Bowlin` Green 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 commenced to pray. I cried My God, I am your child send your angels down Then feelin` with my fingertips, the bottle neck I found I drew that glass across his neck as fine as any blade, and I felt his blood pour fast and hot around me where I laid. 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 |
