  C                                              F
  Caleb Meyer he lived alone, In them hollerin pines 

  F                             C                                       C
  And he made a little whiskey for himself said it helped to pass the time

  C                                                  F
  Long one evening in back of my house, Caleb come around

  F                          C                                 C
  And he called my name till I went out, With no-one else around

  C                                                    F
  Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains 

  F                  C                                  C
  But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name

  C                                                      F
  Where's your husband Nellie Cane, Wheres your darlin' gone? 

  F                         C                               C
  Did he go on down the mountainside, and leave you all alone?

  C                                                             F
  Yes my husband's gone to Bowling Green, to do some business there 

  F                       C                                  C
  Then Caleb threw that bottle down, And grabbed me by my hair 

  C                                                    F
  Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains 

  F                  C                                  C
  But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name

  C                                                  F
  He threw me in the needle bed, Across my dress he lay  

  F                    C                                 C
  He pinned my hands above my head, And I commenced to pray

  C                                                  F
  I cried my God I am your child, Send your angels down

  F                      C                               C
  Then feeling with my finger tips, The bottle neck I found 

  C                                                F
  I drew that glass across his neck, Fine as any blade  

  F                           C                                C
  Then I felt his blood pour fast and hot, Around me where I laid 

  C                                                    F
  Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains 

  F                  C                                  C
  But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name

  C                                                    F
