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
