Caleb might have lived alone in them [C] hollering vines.

Long one evening in the back of my house, Caleb [C] come around.
And he called my [G] name till I went out and no [Am] one else arrived.

But when I [G] go to sleep at night, don't [Am] you call my name.

Where's your husband, Ellie Kane, where's your [C] darling gone?.
Did he go on [G] down the mountainside and leave [Dm] you all alone?.
Yes, my husband's gone to Bowdoin Green to do some [C] business there.

And I felt that [G] blood pour fast [Am] and hot [G] round me [Dm] where I [Am] lay.
