                            CALEB MEYER
                        ** CAPO 1st FRET **

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


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


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


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


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

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

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