Testi

Caleb Meyer, he lived alone
In them hollerin' pines
And he made a little whiskey for himself
Said it helped to pass the time
Long one evening in back of my house
Caleb come around
And he called my name till I went out
With 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, Nellie Kane?
Where's your darling gone?
Did he go on down the mountainside
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 a needle bed
Across my 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 feelin' with my fingertips
The bottleneck I found
I drew that glass 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
