Caleb Meyer
Gillian Welch

Caleb Meyer, he lived alonenIn them hollarin' pinesnHe made a little whiskey for himselfnSaid it helped to pass the timennLate one evening in back of my house,nCaleb came aroundnHe called my name 'til I came outnWith no one else aroundnn[Chorus]nCaleb Meyer, your ghost is gonnanWear them rattlin' chains.nBut when I go to sleep at night,nDon't you call my namennWhere's your husband, Nellie KanenWhere's your husband gone?nDid he go down off the mountain sidenAnd leave you all alone?nnYes, my husband's gone to Bowlin' GreennTo do some business there.nThen Caleb threw that bottle down nAnd grabbed me by my hair.nn[Chorus]nnHe threw me on the needle bed,nAnd on my dress he laynHe held my hands above my headnAnd I commenced to pray.nnI cried My God, I am your childnSend your angels downnThen feelin' with my fingertips,nThe bottle neck I foundnnI pulled that glass across his necknAs fine as any blade,nAnd I felt his blood run fast and hotnAround me where I laid.nn[Chorus: x2]
