[Verse 1]
C G C
It was all that I could do to keep from cryin'
F G C
Sometimes it seems so useless to remain
F G C Am
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
C G C G
You never even call me by my name
[Verse 2]
C G C
You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings
F G C
And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride
F G C Am
And you don't have to call me Merle Haggard...anymore
D G
Even though you're on my fightin' side
[Chorus]
F G C
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
F G C
'Cause I never minded standin' in the rain
F G C Am
You don't have to call me Darlin', Darlin
C G C
But you never even call me by my name
[Verse 3]
C G C
Well I've seen my name a few times in your phone book
F G C
And I've seen it on the signs where I've played
F G C Am
But there's only one thing that I'm really sure of
D G
Is I'll here it when my savior calls me home
[Chorus]
F G C
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
F G C
'Cause I never minded standin' in the rain
F G C Am
You don't have to call me Darlin', Darlin
C G C
But you never even call me by my name
[Talk]
Note 1: Isn't the same as the recording, but is based of the story that Steve Goodman talks about in an original version of the song.
Note 2: Can use verse chords while doing the talk.
Well there were two good ol boys named Steve Goodman and John Prine that wrote this song and they said it was the perfect country and western song. Some would say it was not the perfect country and western song, because it didn’t say anything at all about mama or trains or trucks or prison or getting’ drunk. Well Steve sat back down and wrote another verse to the song. I know you know how it goes, so sing it with me. It goes:
[Verse 4]
C G C
Well I was drunk the day my Mom got out of prison
F G C
And I went to pick her up in the rain
F G C Am
But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
D G
She got run over by a damned old train
[Chorus 2]
F G C
And I'll hang around just as long as you will let me
F G C
'Cause I never minded standing in the rain
F G C Am
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
C G
You never even call me...
C Am
I wonder why you don't call me...
C G C
Why don't you ever call me by my name?
