Letra de Caleb meyer

Caleb Meyer, he lived alone
In 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
