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 have fun playing the song!
