Album: Dark Chords On A Big GuitarCaleb MyerCaleb Myer he lived alone
In them hollering pines
And he made a little whiskey for himself
Said it helped past the time
Long one evening in the back of house
Caleb come around
And he called my name 'til I went out
With no one else around
Chorus: Caleb Myer 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 Grabbed me by my hair
Repeat chorus
He threw me in the needle bed
Across me dress he lay
Then he pinned 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
I drew that glass across his neck
Fine as any blade
Then I felt his blood pour fast and hot
Around me where I laid
Repeat chorus
Caleb Myer your ghost is gonna wear them rattling chains
But when I go to sleep at night don't you call my name
