         A9*     Am         A9     Am   Am                  G   
  Caleb Meyer, he lived alone, in them hollerin' pines    
                    G                                                        D9*                     A9   
  And he made a little whiskey for himself, said it helped to pass the time.   
        A9         Am      A9               Am      A9               G   
  Long one evenin' back of my house, Caleb come around   
                   G                                                    D9            A9   
  And he called my name till I went out, with no one else around.

A9 Am A9 Am A9 G Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains, G D9 A9 But when I go to sleep at night, don't you call my name. A9 Am A9 Am A9 G "Where's your husband, Nellie Cane? Where's your darlin' gone? G D9 Am Did he go on down the mountainside and leave you all alone?" A9 Am A9 Am A9 G "Yes, my husband's gone to Bowling Green to do some business there." G D9 A9 Then Caleb threw that bottle down and grabbed me by my hair. Chorus A9 Am A9 Am A9 G He threw me in the needle bed; across my dress he lay. G D9 Am He pinned my hands above my head, and I commenced to pray. A9 Am A9 Am A9 G I cried, "My God, I am your child! Send your angels down." G D9 Am Then feeling with my fingertips, the bottle neck I found. A9 Am A9 Am A9 G I drew that glass across his neck, fine as any blade, G D9 A9 Then I felt his blood pour fast and hot around me where I lay. Chorus x 2
