Caleb Meyer Songtext
von Flats & Sharps

Well, Caleb Meyer lived alone in them rattling piles
Made a little whiskey for himself, he said it helped pass the time
Late one night, the back of my house, that man he came around
He called my name till I went out with no one else around

Caleb Meyer, the ghost, is gone away them rattling chains
When I go to sleep at night don′t you call my name

He said, Where's your husband Alikane
Where′s the darling gone
Did he go on down the mountainside? Did he leave you all alone
I said yes, my husbands gone to Golden Green to do some business there
Caleb, through that bottle down and grabbed me by my hair


He threw me on that needle bed across my dress he laid
He held my hands above my head, and I commenced and praid
Well, I prayed my God, I am a child send the rangers down
Then, feeling with my fingertips, a bottleneck I found

Caleb Meyer, the ghost, is gone away them rattling chains
When I go to sleep at night don't you call my name

Well, I drew that glass across his neck as fine as any blade
Calebs blood ran fast and hard around it, where I laid

Caleb Meyer, the ghost, is gone
Away them rattling chains
When I go to sleep at night don't you call my name

Caleb Meyer, the ghost, is gone
Away them rattling chains
When I go to sleep at night don′t you call my name

Well, Caleb Meyer, the ghost is gone away them rattling chains
When I go to sleep at night don′t you call my name
