Capo on the 5th fretAm G Caleb Meyer he lived alone, In them hollerin pinesG D Am And he made a little whiskey for himself said it helped to pass the timeAm G Long one evening in back of my house, Caleb come aroundG D Am And he called my name till I went out, With no-one else aroundAm G Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chainsG D Am But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my nameAm G Where's your husband Nellie Cane, Wheres your darlin' gone?G D Am Did he go on down the mountainside, and leave you all alone?Am G Yes my husband's gone to Bowling Green, to do some business thereG D Am Then Caleb threw that bottle down, And grabbed me by my hairAm G Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chainsG D Am But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my nameAm G He threw me in the needle bed, Across my dress he layG D Am He pinned my hands above my head, And I commenced to prayAm G I cried my God I am your child, Send your angels downG D Am Then feeling with my finger tips, The bottle neck I foundAm G I drew that glass across his neck, Fine as any bladeG D Am Then I felt his blood pour fast and hot, Around me where I laidAm G Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chainsG D Am But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my nameAm G Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chainsG D Am But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my namehave fun playing the song!
