Caleb Meyer

Caleb Meyer he lived alone In them hollering pines And he made a little whiskey for himself Said it helped to pass the time Long one evening in back of my house Caleb called around And he called my name â??til I went out With no one else around [Chorus] Caleb Meyer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains But when I go to sleep at night don't you call my name "Where's your husband Nellie Cane Where's your darling gone? Did he go on down the mountain side And leave you all alone?" "Yes my husband's gone to bowling green To do some business there" Then Caleb threw that bottle down And he grabbed me by my hair [Chorus] He threw me in the needle bed Across my dress he lay Then he pined my hands above my head And I commenced to pray I cried my God I am your child Send your angels down Then feeling with my finger tips The bottle neck I found In drew that glass across his neck Fine as any blade Then I felt his blood pour fast an hot Around me where I laid [Chorus: x2] --- Caleb Meyer - Joan Baez
