You Never Even Call Me By My Name
Recorded by David Allan Coe
Written by Steve Goodman
A E7 A
Well it was all that I could do to keep from cryin'
D A
Sometimes it seemed so useless to remain
D A
But you don't have to call me darlin' darlin'
E7 A
You never even call me by my name
E7 A
You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings
E7 A
And you don't have to call me Charley Pride
D A F#m
And you don't have to call me Merle Haggard anymore
B7 E7
Even though you're on my figtin' side
D A
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
E7 A
And I never minded standin' in the rain
D A
But you don't have to call me darlin' darlin'
E7 A E7
You never even call me by my name
A E7 A
Well I've heard my name a few times in your phonebook (hello hello)
E7 A
And I've seen it on signs where I've played
D A F#m
But the only time I know I'll hear David Allan Coe
B7 E7
Is when Jesus has His final judgement day
Repeat #3 So I'll hang...
A
(Well a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song
E7
And he told me it was the perfect country and western song
I wrote him back a letter and I told him
It was not the perfect country and western song
A
Because he hadn't said anything at all about momma
E7 A
Or trains or trucks or prison or gettin' drunk
Well he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent it to me
And after readin' it I realized
That my friend had written the perfect country and western song
And I felt at last obliged to itself the last verse goes like this here
E7 A E7 A
Well I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison
E7 A
And I went to pick her up in the rain
D A F#m
But before I could get to the station in a pickup truck
B7 E7
She got run'd over by a damned old train
D A
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
E7 A
And I never minded standin' in the rain
A7 D A
Ohh you don't have to call me darlin' darlin'
E7 A D
You never even call me but I wonder why you don’t call me
A E7 D A
Why you don’t ever call me by my name
