Caleb Myer

Dm

[Verse]
 Dm                                
Caleb Meyer he lived alone, In them
            C
 hollerin pines
                              G 
And he made a little whiskey for 
himself said it helped to pass the 
  Dm
time
 Dm                           
Long one evening in back of my 
                      C
house, Caleb come around
                           G     
And he called my name till I went 
                         Dm
out, With no-one else around

[Chorus]
 Dm                                
Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna 
                   C
wear them rattling chains
                   G            
But when I go to sleep at night, 
                    Dm
Don't you call my name

[Verse]
 Dm                              
Where's your husband Nellie Cane, 
                       C

                          G        
Did he go on down the mountainside,
                    Dm
 and leave you all alone?
         Dm                     
Yes my husband's gone to Bowling 
                              C
Green, to do some business there
                        G          
Then Caleb threw that bottle down, 
                      Dm
And grabbed me by my hair

[Chorus]
 Dm                                
Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna 
                  C
wear them rattling chains
                   G            
But when I go to sleep at night, 
                    Dm
Don't you call my name

[Verse]
    Dm                        
He threw me in the needle bed, 
                     C
Across my dress he lay
                     G           
He pinned my hands above my head, 
                     Dm
And I commenced to pray
   Dm                              
I cried my God I am your child, 
               C
Send your angels down
                       G         
Then feeling with my finger tips, 
                    Dm
The bottle neck I found
   Dm                              
I drew that glass across his neck, 
              C
Fine as any blade
                            G      
Then I felt his blood pour fast and
                         Dm
 hot, Around me where I laid

[Break]

[Chorus]
 Dm                                
Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna 
                  C
wear them rattling chains
                    G           
But when I go to sleep at night, 
                    Dm
Don't you call my name

[Chorus]
 Dm                                
Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna 
                  C
wear them rattling chains
                   G            
But when I go to sleep at night, 
                    Dm
Don't you call my name
