Gillian Welch - Caleb myer - 2004/ live at bonnaroo lyrics

Caleb Meyer, he lived alone In them hollarin' pines And he made a little whiskey for himself Sip it up to pa** the time No one at the back of my house Caleb come around And he called my name 'til I went out No one else around 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, Nelly 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 Bowlin' 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 But 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 he pinned my hands above my head And I began 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 tore that gla** across his neck As fine as any blade Then I felt his blood pour fast and hot 'Round me where I lay Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna Wear them rattlin' chains But when I go to sleep at night Don't you call my name Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna Wear them rattlin' chains But when I go to sleep at night Don't you call my name
