DAVID ALLAN COE - You Never Even Called Me By My Name

[lilwildspark]

Did you know that David bought this song from John Prine, for a BBQ grill? (Now you do!)

[mightyman1able]

Too all wrong and not complete song!

I sang the song in England while in the USAF and the crowd loved it!!

[1949man]

Worked for awhile with a guy who spent jail time with David...Years ago.Somewhere close to Canton,Oh. Great singer though.

[realnobiki]

Love the song, but those boots slay me.

[WarDamnEagle80]

I love DAC!

[dustydog6923]

18 people are on crack!

[Daveyboy737]

God I miss the old school rebels, David Allen Coe, Merle, George Jones, Waylon, Willie Johnny. The list goes on and on. Not that I don't like the country music today but these guys set the way and weren't PC about anything. Bring back some old school to radio

[diana80458]

David is from here in Ohio.Just down the road from where ..I know his sister cousins; and family.I think he's crazy as hell...

.

[jfw248]

The tempo is all wrong

[james2321lee]

just another nigger run there fuckin mouth

[littlelady60]

its goin to be a great fantastic show tonight cant wait

[stonewalltaylor]

Hey no one can insult this man, and im responding to ghetto jacker IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE.

[Clobia]

GODS

[georgeisupset]

whiskey and weed anyone?!!

[Weissmenchland]

David Allan Coe is the ultimate rebel. He'll say what's taboo no matter the subject.

[DACFAN9]

DAC is the best country singer in the world he may not get respected for tha shit he has wrote about but hell it great music in my opinion  DAC should be in tha country music hall of fame

[rihdz1]

Nothing racist about this song...but his other songs are horrible

[BigProcATS]

@rihdz1 That's quite a broad statement. He used racist language in 2 songs. Only 1 of which was produced on a mainstream record. The other one was on the underground album "18 X-Rated Hits". I'm not saying he's a good guy, but to lump all of his stuff together like that is a bit short-sighted.

[hughbo52]

I used to ride around with the kids and we'd sing this song loud as we could right through the middle of town. Boy, they still remember...Bless their hearts for what their daddy put them through.

[salupaginahit]

Racism makes the world go round...hahahaha.only sensitive whiners see racism.

[TheDeepvalleycruiser]

David allan coe is the country king of all time.. greatings from sweden....

[lurch6stringsdown]

and holy shit Warren Haynes is in there too

[lurch6stringsdown]

[simoncowellscores]

Written by a short little Jewish guy from Chicago lol.

[jurasino5]

@simoncowellscores that absolutely fit to such a guy

[rusty67ful]

WHY WOULDN'T YOU LIKE A SINGER LIKE DAC MAYBE HE JUST SAYS WHATS ON HIS MIND IN HIS SONGS. I THINK THAT HE IS A TRUE PIONEER OF COUNTRY MUSIC IF YOU DON'T LIKE HIS MUSIC THEN GET COUNTRY FIED

[sususs1947]

[shiftedx2]

fast version is actually pretty nice!



[jarrod4020]

[haire52]

one of the best and most talented singer songwriters ever

[MerrittJeff1970]

too fast man. this song is suppesed to crawl like a drunk stumblin down the boulevard.

[MerrittJeff1970]

too fast man. this song is suppesed to crawl!!

[sixshooter500]

@MerrittJeff1970 he made the hit, let him perform the damn song the way he wants to. 

[MrRolly25]

The best thing about the greatest country and western song ever is that it was written by a Jew from Chicago.

[0Surfdude]

Tha band is obviously distressed here

[1bigrob007]

[Mrdianalynn]

It was this song that taught me LUST has NOTHING TO DO WITH LUST.

[paulhgaines]

Written by Steve Goodman and John Prine

[mwb12285]

Horrible performance of this song, they are playing and singing it too fast, kinda ruins it, and I love this damn song too.

[rlh450rr]

[02indianscout]

[callieann77]

8 people don't love their Mamas.

[garywebb96]

I read the posts about DAC, what a bunch of bed wettin fagitt losers. 

[hillsurfer]

Several really dumb people think only white rednecks can be racist.

[xgp23killedU]

fuck this fagget redneck and everyone whos supports him, hope all of you burn in hell

[felfelfelicus]

@xgp23killedU you're changing the world with your negativity and obsession with video games. perhaps your youtube comment will reverse the bigotry and hatred of the past. good luck. fucking moron, enjoy the music or keep watching COD youtube videos.

[xgp23killedU]

@felfelfelicus ok first off jackass supporting this fucker and his racist beliefs is negative in itself. yeah and the 2 30 second videos i posted a few months ago doesn't merit obsession. so u can keep fucking your cousin and ill keep hating racist people

[1lowlife]

@xgp23killedU

Go fuck your mother..

Nothing racist about this song at all crybaby..

[MRMED123]

FUCK YOU FOR USING SWEAR WORDS!

[fukc26]

@1lowlife Keep in mind he didn't write it lol

[viper720666]

@xgp23killedU You're a dumbass. Why don't you take 5 seconds on google so you can figure out what ignorant, bigoted things you just typed. You're a racist piece of shit yourself, so how about you take your keyboard, throw it out the fucking window, and steer clear of videos like this? You start shit with the wrong people you will lose.

[gators1011]

@xgp23killedU u talk about his racist beliefs well if u dont like racist people then u basically hate everybody because evrybody is racist in their own way racism doesnt have to be about color only so before u talk about hating racist people think about urself because ur being racist towards rednecks by thinking they all are racist and thinking they all screw their cousins so just shut up and keep your mouth shut about racist people when you are being racist as well

[DrankinDranoHoe]

@gators1011 racism is prejudice against race- prejudice based on other traits is not racism... Example- if you dont trust tall people, youre not racist- youre prejudice towards the vertically advantaged. "Redneck" is not a race...

[NoelWesley]

@gators1011 Well said!

[Wilhelm1617]

@gators1011 Racism is specifically about race. You are speaking of prejudice which is much broader than racism.

[Disasterpiec1]

@xgp23killedU you're a damn idiot, plain and simple, an idiot....

[m0trhed91]

@xgp23killedU fuck you bitch made punk

[GreaseGasGlory]

@xgp23killedU

go pick a fucking tree, you no balled faggot. im sorry, was that to racist for you, you pussy,

[nterry78]

If you've ever closed down a real honkey tonk in TX, you've sang this at the top of your lungs with every other drunk in the bar. R.I.P. to the Rio Palm Isle, Longview Tx.

[chriscrezy2011]

7 people aren't rednecks you niggers go fuck your mama

[viper720666]

@chriscrezy2011 Nah, 7 people were just too drunk and hit the wrong button.

[GeorgeWashiification]

@viper720666 Hahhahhahhahahahaahha EXACTLY...

[cloud9savagehenry]

YES .... i just pissed my pants

[bobbyozb]

Is that Warren Haynes on guitar.......Sure looks like him

[nterry78]

@bobbyozb Yes. Warren played with DAC. I, however, prefer Govt. Mule.

[dimb9]

lol in my country this has barley been watched!! greetings from great britain

[bogscraper]

I'm a Punk Rocker from way back, you gota admit that some country is just Punk< David Allen is Punk!

[skatenirvana]

@bogscraper either you're tone-deaf or you're just stupid

[Crackhouts]

DAC has some good songs, but I can't hardly stand him after watching Heartworn Highways. What a freakin' DOUCHE.

[patsaxon]

I heard rumors that he is racist against afro americans. I hope that this is not true as many rednecks has grown up from being racist?

[nterry78]

@patsaxon Look up "If that aint country". Yes, he may be a tad racist, as are many rednecks.

[SpedisOwl]

Looks like fake hair and beard to me. Witness protection?

[denorkol]

I love this song, but he's got the pace all wrong in this version

[ireallyloveredheads]

6 people need to get beaten black and blue with whips and things

[misty12336]

@ireallyloveredheads

amen. I will provide the whips. you get the things.

[drfork]

Credit should go to John Prine too who wrote this song with Goodman

[Shirley3265]

I am a new fan--love this song!!!

[jamesskb]

Fast, slow, half fast, half slow, half ass. Doesn't matter! It's a great song and sounds awesome!

[slockyear]

That's Warren Haynes playing guitar next to DAC. Allman Brothers/Govt Mule

[niallwhite1969]

@slockyear damn, I thought that was him. Is there any band that he doesn't play in? Hardest working man in music.

[FalcorsPhallus]

look at those boots! the Rhinestone Cowboy Rides Again!!

[freeman2545]

this is good shit

[GLWillaims]

watch,dont fish and drive!

[jehovahuponyou]

WASN'T COE BLOW THE POPE BACK IN THE LATE 60s?

[01dirtydirt]

who ever doesnt like this can kis my country ass and suck my white dick!

[mtnjamman]

@hoff1967...That is Warren. DAC gave him his start in the business. Dickey Betts later suggested he play with The Allman Brothers(many years later) after seeing him play with DAC.

[alchoholic20]

Quote "Im not racist my drummers a nigger"

[mclaren450]

@alchoholic20

LMAO!

[jeffkahl]

what was it with the outlaw guys constantly using phase shifting on their guitars? I've heard Waymore use it, now DAC using it... I think I even heard Bocephus use it!

[DirtRoadWarrior]

Best Waylan, Charlie, and Merle imitations EVER DONE!! If DAC cannot SANG, than no one ever SANG.

[DirtRoadWarrior]

Thank God for Steve Goodman, or none of us would have ever heard this damn song! RIP, Steve!

[hoff1967]

Is that Warren Haynes on his right?

[VirgilCain1001]

@hoff1967 Yep, Imus had Haynes on one morning and introduced him as having spent 3 or 4 years on the road with DAC. Not much he didn't see ...

[Pootwilly]

Sang it at a party the other night! Can't beat a good beer drinking song!

[mynamesmiked]

Awesome.

[officeaspire]

88

777

[seymourbbest]

Great songwriter. Squandered his best years away and pissed off people with his silly self promotional lies. But I still love "there's cum stains on the pillow where she once laid her head"

[Marino3292]

david allan coe is the shit. hands down one of the best country artists ever

[MaRyMo444]

LOve D.A.C. !!!!! If that ain't country I'll Kiss your ass! :D

[Terryib6ub9]

God bless David alan Cole

[OldMcDonald07]

The best god damned country song EVER!!!

[Whovianlover]

i don't care what people say this is a pretty good song, i love country music <3

[mclaren450]

racist but genius. ill rather not listen to him though because hell just end up insulting me with the "n" word along the line ;)

[bobo8193]

He must be speeding. Why would u play this song at double speed?

[1questionable]

I have a new found respect for this man. I always thought he was a borderline racist, but in essence, he is a genius.

[eddiediaz5001]

He is more genius then anything ,and I am not white or Anglo hahah. So I would say to anyone who is offended to get a big bag of ice and hold it close to your pa pa. hahahahahaha David Allen Cole was, is and will always be a genius.

[1questionable]

I have a new found respect for this man. I always thought he was a borderline racist, but in essence, he is a genius.

[xjollybobx]

It's a shame all the singers in that song where not there to sing it. Still fucking awesome though:) 

[CharlieReddog]

Dumbsss, Merle is originally from Oklahoma! And David Allen is from Ohio. Little history lesson for your dumb ass!

[act6629]

This song goes very well with a bottle of jim beam

[isortparcels]

David Allan Coe does an outstanding job on this song , but let's not forget John Prine and his contribution to this song as well.

[onebaud]

It is the perfect country and western song!

[alhowell24]

Garth who. this is DAC you hay seed. peace met this cat in the fla keys. he helped fix a flat tire me and my wife had. also saw him jump out of a plane 4th of july 1980 biatch

[keithstrat]

Rock it Warren...! A lot of people dont know that Warren also wrote "two of a kind working on a full house" for Garth Brooks..!

[chotovice]

Please, can you send to my mail anpouch@seznam.cz D. A. Coe's song It's great to be single again? If you want to send some song from me (and if I got this song), type something. Thank you very much, František Dobrota.

[eliseccc77]

okay so not to be a nag but its called 'the perfect country and western song'.

[Retribution421]

@eliseccc77 You're not being a nag, you're just being stupid. It is called "You Never Even Called Me By My Name"

[DaveWollenberg]

Studio version hit #8 in Billboard, 9-27-75. RIP, Steve Goodman! God bless!

[MrMoncheche]

Steve Goodman does it better.........

[105harley]

Sounds good when he speeds it up! SYLO!

[105harley]

Sounds good when he speeds it up! SYLO!

[txlastrebel]

That's Warren Haynes on guitar to David's right.

[stephenanthony1]

the perfect country western song

[mtnjamman]

Love seein' some old school Warren Haynes. Thanks to D A C for giving him a chance to be one of the greatest !

[TBone5409]

During live performances what do people normally echo out / yell out after the words "And I'll hang around as long as you will let me" ? Is it "...let me, let me, let me" or what?? I never could catch that.

[MortimerYoung]

@TBone5409 Yeah

[Ninjamonkey767]

I love how he crams drinking, mommas and prisons all in one line.

[rorygg1]

dac isn't an outlaw. waylon said the outlawing dac ever did was double parking his tour bus on music row. that treble phlange is annoying as hell

[jobro1973]

you gotta love warren's getup

[whiskygirl43]

i like the slower virsion......

[RhinestoneRebel]

i love this song

[KEVINLEEWALTERS]

ROCK ON DAVID

[slowhand111666]

I can't find a recording of this show...i have searched the austin city archives...even left them a message...D.A.C. Rules !!! They don't want us to have this recording

[jamesskb]

I am guitar picker and a Coe fan for years. A drummer I played with years ago recorded this whole show from Austin City Limits (back when all we had was VHS) and gave it to me. I have since misplaced my tape, but if you come across it, listen to the whole show. Great concert. Take this Job and Field of Stone stick out in my mind. (seen him live twice in the 80's). First show was right after the The Ride was riding high on the charts. To me, back then, David was the man.

[b28228256]

Classic! David Allen Coe's just great

[stylinnprofylin]

I`ve been lucky enough to have a drink with DAC in Nashville,the man is an honest to god legend the real deal man.

[0520bitch]

@stylinnprofylin IF U DRANK WITH DAC U MUST BE A REAL ASSHOLE JUST LIKE HIM!

[stylinnprofylin]

@0520bitch haha we were talking about how YOU like to wear a gimp costume and live under the floor in your parets house WANKSTAIN.

epic
