Capo on the 5th fret

A5                                              G5
  Caleb Meyer he lived alone, In them hollerin pines 
  G5                             D5                                       A5
  And he made a little whiskey for himself said it helped to pass the time
  A5                                                  G5
  Long one evening in back of my house, Caleb come around
  G5                          D5                                 A5
  And he called my name till I went out, With no-one else around


  A5                                                    G5
  Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains 
  G5                  D5                                  A5
  But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name


  A5                                                      G5
  Where's your husband Nellie Cane, Wheres your darlin' gone? 
  G5                         D5                               A5
  Did he go on down the mountainside, and leave you all alone?
  A5                                                             G5
  Yes my husband's gone to Bowling Green, to do some business there 
  G5                       D5                                  A5
  Then Caleb threw that bottle down, And grabbed me by my hair 


  A5                                                    G5
  Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains 
  G5                  D5                                  A5
  But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name


  A5                                                  G5
  He threw me in the needle bed, Across my dress he lay  
  G5                    D5                                 A5
  He pinned my hands above my head, And I commenced to pray
  A5                                                  G5
  I cried my God I am your child, Send your angels down
  G5                      D5                               A5
  Then feeling with my finger tips, The bottle neck I found 
  A5                                                G5
  I drew that glass across his neck, Fine as any blade  
  G5                           D5                                A5
  Then I felt his blood pour fast and hot, Around me where I laid 
 

  A5                                                    G5
  Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains 
  G5                  D5                                  A5
  But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name

  A5                                                    G5
  Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains 
  G5                  D5                                  A5
  But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name
