---- to do some business thereThen Caleb threw
that bottle down and grabbed me by my hairCaleb
Meyer, your ghost is gonna wear them rattlin'
chainsBut when I go to sleep at night, don't you
call my nameHe threw me in the needle bedAcross my
dress he layThen he pinned my hands above my head

childSend your angels downThen feeling with my
fingertips, a bottleneck I foundAn' I tore that
glass across his neck---------Then I felt his
blood pour fast and hot 'round me where I layCaleb
Meyer, your ghost is gonna wear them rattlin'
chainsBut when I go to sleep at night, don't you
call my nameCaleb Meyer, your ghost is gonna wear
them rattlin' chainsBut when I go to sleep at
night, don't you call my name
