Coe, David Allan - Merle And Me Lyrics
Back in 1953
We stole a car old merle and me
Never thinking wed be put in jail
You might say that we were green
I was barely seventeen
Late one night we hit the wall
Twenty feet we had to fall
To the ground where we could craw into the weeds
Waiting for that shotgun blast
Never thinking we could last
We sure had to grow up fast, old merle and me
We were young and crazy then
It was easy to pretend
Looking danger in the eye
Walking with our heads held high
We were not afraid to die, old merle and me
We were living by the gun
Never caring what wed done
Swearing it was all just fun and games you know
We would die and go to hell
Before we broke our vow to tell
How we escaped that prison cell. old merle and me
How was merle or me to know
We would end up on death row
Waiting for our turn in the electric chair
Shot down in a grocery store
We got busted at the door
Praying wasn't easy for old merle and me

Coe, David Allan Merle And Me Comments
dam, never read comments before, my eyes were sayin it was Warren Haynes....good stuff, one of the south's finest pickers...
I recently found of I am related to David , I was actually born a Coe !
EPIC WIG
That’s the thing about DAC he doesn’t care about what people think about how he looks just ask him he’ll tell ya.

Best country singer that will never be in the hall of fame
There has to be a woman hiding under that hair.. This ass has something wrong with his brain, that shit went out in the 80s.
pat welch that's a asshat
Only a douche would put a thumbs down on this man. He's a true outlaw. Fuck the nes stuff and Nashville too!
Hair Farmer
I just listened to this song for the first time. Awesome song. True outlaw country
long hair on a man only proves one thing,,,,, they must want to look like a woman. wow,, big hair 70's. he could have his own shampoo commercials. the reason Nashville didn't want him was his X-rated album. he was a rough character
Thanks for the comment!!!!

I am hard core country but I just don't like this guy. Old school USMC and have seen people walk into fire for this singer for nothing more than shear drunken stupidity. I apologize for the rude comments. I like your channel and no disrespect to any one. Not sure what was going on inside this persons head when they got out of prison. Johnny Paycheck was the same way with little or no morals. Oh well.. This isn't a perfect world and we must live day to day in reality. Once again, no disrespect intended. I thank you for your channel and have subbed.
@spliceon charlie then you aint hardcore country pal you probably too pussy for merle as well
Is that Warren Haynes beside Coe??
That's him. Wonder how old this is?
David has always been one of my favorites.
Jason Adams
Totally agree...
Can still see DAC at the Iron Horse Salon in Ormond Beach for Bike events......he won't stand much though.
Charles Wright . . . David Allan Coe don't stand very much anymore because he is pushing 80 years old .
What an amazing video. Thank you

Outlaw? The only thing that should have been outlawed is that redunkulous wig. Yowza!
Yeah. I can't imagine the look on Warren's face when he found out what David was wearing on his head before they went onstage.
Billy Dub lol this dickhead looks like grizzly Adams working as a pimp
@Surfs Up you notice he is trying to not look over so as to not laugh his ass off.
There will never be another GOD BLESS you D.A.C.
Country Gold... A very young Warren Haynes on a gun guitar!
Shit they are all gun guitars!

When The Cowboy Sings , they split right down the middle, and they gave her the better half. She Got the Goldmine I got the shaft. Guess I should have just learned to cook? What wise words. Had I only done it 25 years ago. I've seen this man twice live. He lived in my small town in Missouri when I was a child (DAC that is)
Thanks for the comment!!!!

Coolest instruments ever!
Man this is so cool, thank you so much for posting this stuff.
i can't believe these videos exist. thanks so much
Accompanied by Warren Haynes and Alan Woody of The Allman Brothers and Govt Mule
I thought I recognised those guys, thanks Keal Franklin. ya can't get much better backup than that.
Thank you brother, I saw the guy in the middle and immediately thought that's gotta be Warren. Played some pretty good rhythm there and he went on to become a lot more than just that.
That's me, Mickey Hayes on Bass thanks for liking
I wonder why he wears fake hair and beards? A great songwriter and singer, but the hair makes it difficult to watch him
gheester60 you're joking right? That's his real hair boo boo, got longer than that
Curt Ekstrom why was he hard to work for
@Blue Spectre The final straw for me was coming out after a show in Dallas, TX and finding the Bus and the Semi Repossessed. At that point some of the band and road crew also quit on him. Having not been PAID in over 2 months, and David not paying his bills. It wasn't looking any better.
@Shawn Boggs You seriously believe that is his hair? If only you knew how big David's Wig Closet was. The man could barely get his hair to get to his shoulders. He started the wigs in 1980 according to his wife Debra at the time.
This was on our rfd tv. I recorded twice both times there was no audio. Great to run into it so soon after

It's a wig
Scobey scobe it's ridiculous either way lol
trintdaddylandis this Dinny dimwit is all nasally and shit. And the hair looks like the horse I bet on in the Belmont stakes
Goddamn he's got the longest hair I've ever seen!!!
Davids hair barely grew past his shoulders, He had one of the largest Wig Collections
It was real . . . I've seen over 40 concerts with Dac . . . Since the early 70's . . . He wore a beard and long hair since he got out of prison . . . And the guy on here talking about he worked with Dac is full of shit . . . Get him to show just one picture of him working with Dac . . . If he worked that long with Dac . . . He should have some pictures to prove it . . . He's an Internet troll and he's full of shit .
David Allan Coe was a freak . . . But he wasn't a fruitcake . . . . He wore the beard in the long hair because he couldn't do that all them years he spent in prison .
@Fred Wilkerson David himself will verify he wore wigs, then and still now. For the longest time his Daughter Carla was in charge of the wig collection.
Works on the iPhone thanks!
I had to separate the audio tracks, they mixed
Thanks so much. Anyone who uploads DAC footage I've never seen is okay in my book!!!
