Roger in Baltimore ADD: You Never Even Call Me by My Name (1987) (14) RE: Lyr Add: You Never Even Call Me By My Name 18 Dec 99


Joe,

I first heard this song from Steve Goodman at the Philadelphia Folk Festival. He told the story of the last verse much like Coe does except he swears he was really drunk when he wrote it. I recall he sang the last verse at that time (early '70's) in a pretty similar manner to Coe.

I cannot believe that John Prine thought this song was "too silly." He wrote a few silly ones himself, e.g. Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore.

I posted to a thread about this just this month. I know it's in here somewhere....Oh, here it is!....I see now you knew this already, Joe. Click here
