YOU NEVER EVEN CALL ME BY MY NAME
Doug Supernaw
It was (C) all that I could (G) do to keep from (C) cryin'
Some(F)times it seems so useless to re(C)main
(F) You don't have to call me darlin', (C) darlin'
You never even (G) call me by my (C) name
You don't have to (G) call me Waylon (C) Jennings
And you don't have to (G) call me Charlie (C) Pride
And (F) you don't have to call me Merle (C) Haggard, any(Am)more
(D) Even though your on my fightin' (G) side
And I'll (F) hang around as long as you will (C) let me
And I never minded (G) standin' in the (C) rain (C7)
(F) You don't have to call me darlin', (C) darlin'
You never even (G) call me by my (C) name
Spoken:
Well, me and the Possum Eatin' Cowboys have been playin' this song for a long long
time out there on the road. It's a touching little Steve Goodman number 'bout trains
and trucks and mamas and prison and gettin' drunk. So anyway, me and the boys got
together and we asked Mr. David Allen Coe and a few of our other heros if they
wouldn't mind singing with us on what has proven itself to be the greatest country
western song.
Well, I was (C) drunk the day my (G) mom got outta (C) prison
And I went to pick her (G) up in the (C) rain
But, be(F)fore I could get to the station in my (No Chord) pickup truck
(D) She got runned over by a damned old (G) train (G7)
And I'll (F) hang around as long as you will (C) let me
And I never minded (G) standin' in the (C) rain (C7)
(F) You don't have to call me darlin', (C) darlin'
You never even (G) call me by my (C) name
You never even (G) call me
Now, I wonder why you don't (F) call me
Why don't you ever (G) call me by my (F) name
By my (C) name
