David Allan Coe - You Never Even Called Me By My Name - YouTube

You Never Even Called Me by My Name
David Allan Coe
Well, it was all
That I could do to keep from cryin'
Sometimes it seemed so useless to remain
But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even called me by my name

You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings
And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride
And you don't have to call me Merle Haggard anymore
Even though you're on my fighting' side

And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standing' in the rain
But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even called me by my name

Well, I've heard my name
A few times in your phone book (hello, hello)
And I've seen it on signs where I've played
But the only time I know
I'll hear "David Allan Coe"
Is when Jesus has his final judgment day

So I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standing' in the rain
But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even called me by my name

Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song
And he told me it was the perfect country & western song
I wrote him back a letter and I told him it was not the perfect country & western song
Because he hadn't said anything at all about mama
Or trains, or trucks, or prison, or getting' drunk
Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent it to me
And after reading it I realized that my friend had written the perfect country & western song
And I felt obliged to include it on this album
The last verse goes like this here

Well, I was drunk the day my mom got out of 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 run over by a damned old train

And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standing' in the rain, no
But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even called me
Well, I wonder why you don't call me
Why don't you ever call me by my name

Full throated voice and easy on the eyes as well. I give you Linda Ronstadt.

Cyndi Lauper on the Johnny Carson Show. He died a while back but don't we all.

 

Who are the two old dudes?

 

Would that be Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page? Final answer.

 

~ Time to relax ...

​

 

~ Bob James is one of my favorites. I wonder how many recognize this one ... '

​

 

Right ye are!

 

Not too many, I'm sure.
Here's one you might recognize and a recent riff off the original:

 

1973 version untested and unverified.

 

The storied tale of Lemmiwinks. Not a bad tune if I do say.
