Caleb Meyer, he lived alone In them hollarin' pines He made a little whiskey for himself Said it helped to pass the time Late one evening in back of my house, Caleb came around He called my name 'til I came out With no one else around [Chorus] Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna Wear them rattlin' chains. But when I go to sleep at night, Don't you call my name Where's your husband, Nellie Kane Where's your husband gone? Did he go down off the mountain side And leave you all alone? Yes, my husband's gone to Bowlin' Green To do some business there. Then Caleb threw that bottle down And grabbed me by my hair. [Chorus] He threw me on the needle bed, And on my dress he lay He held my hands above my head And I commenced to pray. I cried My God, I am your child Send your angels down Then feelin' with my fingertips, The bottle neck I found I pulled that glass across his neck As fine as any blade, And I felt his blood run fast and hot Around me where I laid. [Chorus: x2]
