Gillian Welch - Caleb Meyer lyrics
I figured out most of the lyrics, but there are a few spots where I'm not quite sure. Hence, the dashes. Caleb Meyer, he lived alone In them hollarin' pines And he made a little whiskey for himself Sip it up to pass the time At 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 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'd gone to ---- 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 glass across his neck --------- 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 |
