Letra de Caleb Meyer

Caleb Meyer, he lived alone
In them hollarin' pines
And he made a little whiskey for himself
Said it helped to pass the time
Long one evening in back of my house
Caleb came around
And he called my name 'til I came 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
He held 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
