Caleb Meyer


5 

Capo 5

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

 
  Am                                                                               G 
  Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains,  
  G                                   D                                     Am 
  But when I go to sleep at night, don you call my name.  


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


  Chorus 


  Am                                                                           G 
  He threw me in the needle bed; across my dress he lay.   
  G                                           D                                         Am 
  He pinned my hands above my head, and I commenced to pray. 
  Am                                                                           G 
  I cried,  God, I am your child! Send your angels down. 
  G                                      D                                Am 
  Then feeling with my fingertips, the bottle neck I found.  
  Am                                                                    G 
  I drew that glass across his neck, fine as any blade,   
  G                                          D                                      Am 
  Then I felt his blood pour fast and hot around me where I lay.
