[length: 03:05]
[00:11.43]Caleb Meyer he lived alone
[00:14.36]In them hollering pines
[00:16.66]And he made a little whiskey for himself
[00:19.52]Said it helped to pass the time
[00:21.85]Long one evening in back of my house
[00:24.76]Caleb come around
[00:26.84]And he called my name till I went out
[00:29.68]With no one else around
[00:33.35]Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna
[00:36.20]Wear them rattling chains
[00:38.52]But when I go to sleep at night
[00:41.34]Don’t you call my name
[00:46.59]”Where’s your husband Nellie Kane
[00:50.26]Where’s Your darling gone?
[00:52.54]Did he go on down the mountainside
[00:55.43]And leave you all alone?”
[00:58.78]”Yes my husband’s gone to Bowling Green
[01:01.65]To do some business there”
[01:04.06]Then Caleb threw that bottle down
[01:06.68]And grabbed me by my hair
[01:10.53]Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna
[01:13.32]Wear them rattling chains
[01:15.72]But when I go to sleep at night
[01:18.54]Don’t you call my name
[01:33.47]He threw me in the needle bed
[01:36.62]Across my dress he lay
[01:38.63]Then he pinned my hands above my head
[01:41.54]And I commenced to pray
[01:45.12]I cried my God I am your child
[01:48.07]Send your angels down
[01:50.43]Then feeling with my finger tips
[01:53.23]The bottle neck I found
[01:56.93]I drew that glass across his neck
[01:59.59]Fine as any blade
[02:01.86]Then I felt his blood pour fast and hot
[02:04.80]Around me where I laid
[02:31.55]Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna
[02:34.69]Wear them rattling chains
[02:36.97]But when I go to sleep at night
[02:39.88]Don’t you call my name
[02:41.69]Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna
[02:45.21]Wear them rattling chains
[02:47.34]But when I go to sleep at night
[02:50.47]Don’t you call my name
