Caleb Meyer

Caleb Meyer he lived alone

In them hollering 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 called around

And he called my name â??til I went out

With no one else around

[Chorus]

Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains

But when I go to sleep at night don't you call my name

"Where's your husband Nellie Cane

Where's your darling gone?

Did he go on down the mountain side

And leave you all alone?"

"Yes my husband's gone to bowling green

To do some business there"

Then Caleb threw that bottle down

And he grabbed me by my hair

[Chorus]

He threw me in the needle bed

Across my dress he lay

Then he pined my hands above my head

And I commenced to pray

I cried my God I am your child

Send your angels down

Then feeling with my finger tips

The bottle neck I found

In drew that glass across his neck

Fine as any blade

Then I felt his blood pour fast an hot

Around me where I laid

[Chorus: x2]
