Then I felt his blood run hot and fast
When I go to sleep at night don't you call my name
And leave you all alone?
Said it helped pass the time
Wear them rattling chains
Send your angels down"
Caleb come around
I drew that glass across his neck
To do some business there
Wear them rattling chains
Where's your darling gone?
Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna
Grabbed me by my hair
Fine as any blade
Around me where I laid
The bottle neck I found
When I go to sleep at night don't you call my name
With no one else around
Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna
He threw me in the needle bed
I cried, "My God, I am your child
Wear them rattling chains
And I commenced to pray
And Caleb threw that bottle down
Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna
Long one evening in the back of my house
When I go to sleep at night don't you call my name
Caleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna
Pinned my hands above my head
Wear them rattling chains
He called my name till I went out
Across my dress he lay
Then feeling with my finger tips
Where's your husband, Nellie Cane
Did he go on down the mountain side
My husband's gone to bowling green
