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

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

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

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

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

[Break]

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

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