         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.
