Gillian Welch Caleb Meyer Lyrics:
I figured out most of the lyrics, but there are a
few spots where I'm not quite sure. Hence, the

hollarin' pines And he made a little whiskey for
himselfSip it up to pass the timeAt the back of my
houseCaleb come aroundAnd he called my name 'til i
went outAn' no one else aroundCaleb Meyer, your
ghost is gonna wear them rattlin' chainsBut when I

---- 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
and I began to prayI cried my God, I am your
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
