[Verse 1]
[C]Well, it was all
That I [G]could do to keep from
[C]crying'

You never even [G]called me by
my name

[C]Waylon Jennings[Am][G]
[C]And you don't have [G]to call
me [C]Charlie Pride
An[F]d you don't have to call m[Dm]e
Mer[C]le Haggard any[Am]more[D]
Even though you're on my fighting' side
[G]

[Verse 3]
And I'll [F]hang around as
long as you will [C]let me

standing' in the [C]rain

[C]darlin'
You never even [G]called me
by my [C]name[G]

[C]Well, I've heard my name
[G]A few times in your pho[C]ne book
[F](hello, hello)
And I've [C]seen it on [G]signs

But the [F]only time I know
[C]I'll hear "David Allan [Am]Coe"
Is [D]when Jesus [Am]has [D]his final judgment d[G]ay

[Verse 5]
So I'll [F]hang around as

And I never [G]minded
standing' in the [C]rain

[C]darlin'
You never even [G]called me
by my [C]name[G]

[Verse 6]
[C]Well, a friend of mine named Steve
Goodman wrote that song
And he [Am]told me it [G]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 [C]any
thing at all about mama
[Am]Or trains, [G]or trucks, or prison,
[C]or get[G]ting' drunk
Well, he sat down an[C]d 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
[Am]Well, I wa[G]s drunk

[Verse 7]
[C]the day my
[G]mom got out of pris[C]on
And I went to pick [G]her up in the [C]rain
But [F]be fore I could get to the station
in my [C]pickup [Am]truck[D]
She got run over by a damned old [G]train

[Verse 8]
And I'll [F]hang around as
long as you will [C]let me
And I never minded [G]standing' in the [C]rain,
no
But [F]you don't have to call me darlin',
[C]darlin'
You never even [G]called me
Well, I [C]wonder why you don't [F]call me
Why [C]don't you ever [G]call me by my [F]name
[C]
