Caleb Meyer

(Gillian Welch and David Rawlings)

Caleb Meyer, he lived alone 
In them hollerin' pines 
And he made a little whiskey for himself 
Sippin' half past the time
Alone one evenin' the back of my house 
Caleb come around 
And he called my name 'til I went out 
An' no one else around 

Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna wear them rattlin' chains 
When I go to sleep at night, don't you call my name 

"Where's your husband, Nelly Cane? 
Where's your darling gone? 
Did he go on down the mountain side
and leave you all alone?"
"My husband's gone to bowling green
to do some business there"
Then Caleb threw that bottle down
and grabbed me by my hair 

Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna wear them rattlin' chains 
When I go to sleep at night, don't you call my name 

He threw me in the needle bed 
Across my dress he lay 
Then my hands were above my head and I commenced to pray 
I cried my God, I am your child 
Send your angels down 
Then feeling with my fingertips,
a bottleneck I found 

An' I drew that glass across his neck 
To find his anywhay
And I felt his blood run hot and fast
'round me where I lay 

Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna wear them rattlin' chains 
When I go to sleep at night, don't you call my name
 
Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna wear them rattlin' chains 
When I go to sleep at night, don't you call my name

I figured out most of the lyrics, but there are a few spots where I'm not quite sure. 
Hence, the dashes.
