                            CALEB MEYER
                        ** CAPO 1st FRET **

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