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.
