Capo on the 5th fret
[Am] Caleb Meyer he lived alone, In them hollerin p[G]ines
[G]And he made a little whiskey f[D]or himself said it helped to pass the ti[Am]me
[Am]Long one evening in back of my house, Caleb come aro[G]und
[G]And he called my name till [D]I went out, With no-one else aroun[Am]d
[Am]Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling cha[G]ins
[G]But when I go to sl[D]eep at night, Don't you call my nam[Am]e
[Am]Where's your husband Nellie Cane, Wheres your darlin' go[G]ne?
[G]Did he go on down the moun[D]tainside, and leave you all alon[Am]e?
[Am]Yes my husband's gone to Bowling Green, to do some business the[G]re
[G]Then Caleb threw that bo[D]ttle down, And grabbed me by my hai[Am]r
[Am]Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling cha[G]ins
[G]But when I go to sl[D]eep at night, Don't you call my nam[Am]e
[Am]He threw me in the needle bed, Across my dress he la[G]y
[G]He pinned my hands ab[D]ove my head, And I commenced to pr[Am]ay
[Am]I cried my God I am your child, Send your angels dow[G]n
[G]Then feeling with my fi[D]nger tips, The bottle neck I fou[Am]nd
[Am]I drew that glass across his neck, Fine as any bla[G]de
[G]Then I felt his blood pour f[D]ast and hot, Around me where I la[Am]id
[Am]Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling cha[G]ins
[G]But when I go to sl[D]eep at night, Don't you call my nam[Am]e
[Am]Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling cha[G]ins
[G]But when I go to sl[D]eep at night, Don't you call my nam[Am]e
