You Don't Even Call Me By My Name

by: DAVID ALLAN COE

C G

It was all that I could do

C

to keep from cryin'

F C

sometimes it seems so useless to remain

F C

You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'

G C

You never even call me by my name.

C G C

You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings

C G C

And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride.

F C Am

You don't have to call me Merle Haggard, anymore.

D G

Even though your on my fightin' side.

CHORUS

F C

And I'll hang around as long as you will let me

G

And I never minded standin' in the rain.

F C

You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'

G C

You never even call me by my name.

I've heard my name a few times in your phone book

I've seen it on signs where I've laid

But the only time I know, I'll hear David Allan Coe

Is when Jesus has his final judgement day.

CHORUS:

(enter now the Steve Goodman story. The first half is played with a background

of C and G. Just before Steve writes back with the perfect Country and

Western song, it is just a straight background C chord.

Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.

And I went to pick her up in the rain.

But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck

She got runned over by a damned old train.

CHORUS:

So I'll hang around as long as you will let me

And I never minded standin' in the rain. No,

You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'

C G F C

You never even call me, I wonder why you don't call me

F C G C F C

Why don't you ever call me by my name.
