David Allan Coe - The 33rd Of August Lyrics

I, got
times, of
yesterday yelling,
my mystery
wisdom; find
that holy
gathered story
one; pick
up loving,
crossed hands,
battle man
and its,
just a
short ranged
long, story
that held
both ups,
wondering, do
you remember
corn lord
story its,
only me

I've seen David Allen couple times live every time was as powerful as the first time. I first heard him at around 7 years old my dad who is a trucker gave me tape cassette of him the first ten years and I was hooked as a child I'm 34 now and I'm still listening to him.. I got to party with the band in Laughlin NV couple years back he came in shook my had and it was crazy the man I run so many miles listen to the one man dad introduced to me as a kid was standing there in front of me shaking my hand. Love ya David Allen wish you could last another 20 years or we could go back 30.

D.A.C.S STILL THE KING FROM OLD SCHOOL WHEN COUNTRY MUSIC WAS REAL 'CAUSE *REAL* COUNTRY MUSIC IS AN OLD TRADITION 🔫 🎸
DAVID: *OUTLAW KING*

From one Ohio good ole boy convict to another You got no idea.

D.A.C does a spectacular job on this Mickey Newberry song !.

👍👍👍

Wish I was drinking now. Thanks DAC

Drinking one now for u brotha at 6.59 am in Polk city Florida brotha

It's odd how things works out. Last day of August 10:52 . My wife & I having a few drinks. Only I'm getting wasted & not coming down for the next few days. It was so sad to see this great man helped to sit down and play.

Saw the same thing last night.

@buel Roberts Same for me last week, he keeps going by the grace of God almighty.

im here cause i asked a chick we need to plan our wedding she said the 33rd of august lol

My favorite DAC lp.

Man dac got this one right! ................I'm sure Mickey Newbury aproved! !!

So poignant. So incredible. Buried treasure, obfuscated by what, exactly? ... just not the point. If this hurts you good, I love ya. Please refrain from bastardizing my genuine remark. ... Fuck it, I can't change you. Go on and do what you do but don't lose sight of this absolute gem.

the best ever

fine!!!!

momma said he held me while she partied when I was 3 years old I

Nobody can sing em like DAC. Classic COUNTRY voice. A true great one for country music

im 23 years old and i would kill to see this man live i listen to him everyday

Colton Welsh I have and it will change you for ever.

You will not see the same man who recorded this song soer 30+years ago

So true. In that regard, the legend is already gone.

1983 Louisville, KY I was 19 years old, one of the best concerts I ever saw and I've seen a few.

I saw him about the time you were born. Was close enough to smack him. Only regret is, I didn't. He is a bitter human being.

I also have studied THE MAN all my adult life. And from one Ohio boy to another- they broke the mold. I have seen the man over 10-15 times over last 30 years. I Shook his hand and conversed with him the first time backstage at Ross county fairgrounds when he appeared with Waymore and Marty Stewart. Talked to him on his bus a few years later. I have drank hard and ran up some rail while listening to him full blast with my brother. Recently I have appreciated him sober. He has been many things to many people thru the years. Most good some bad. When he dies there will be a void like all the other Country greats. Having recently lost me brother and recently discovering DAC singing this wonderful and haunting song, the steel guitar gets me everytime. Thank you David Allan. For everything

Man,if thats true thats amazing.

Dan Burns ...Yes Sir.......all true

thank you for sharing💖 I'm sorry for your heartache

Seen live only once. Knew many of his Brothers, most now dead and gone. sylo

David Allan Coe is such a talented songwriter and singer he has to be my favorite entertainer And yes we know he has copied this song from Micky Newbury .I can listen to either one sing this song

Been studding this man most of my adult life. Between the lies , the gimmicks and the stories' of multiple wives . I loved it  all but think it all was  hoax.

+brad dovel what do you mean with hoax? his stage persona/outlaw attitudes?

I think a lot was made up , the math doesnt work (example just divorced albulm) he was  married to jody then

the greats always seem like a hoax. no one could be as cool as elvis and love his momma join the army etc. no one could write songs that speak to you like waylons did.

He makes up a bunch of stories for sure

As long as everyone knows this is Micky Newbury song I'm cool. Most of you don't know it though. All the rain sounds and analogies are straight off of Mickey's songs, DAC does them justice but it needs to be known that he straight up lifted this off another talented artist. 

@Tim Brady I was thinking the same thing.....It's the exact same arrangement..   .....personally I've heard /Waylon's version, Joan Baez's version, this one and I still love the Mickey Newbury version the best

Mickey was the best. It came from his heart. It's simply his song.

Been a DAC fan from the beginning but his story about Death Row are just that a story. Dont doubt he spent a few times locked up but not to the degree he tells it. That aside DAC is one hella singer/songwriter

Check out Waylon's version if you're interested. ;-)

85bigsky Waylong never fell short

jerome shumate david bad ass allen coe I Love This Music. I Thank God For Your Talent.

Nice! Could listen to this song all night. DAC, Waylon and Mickey.

id kill a man for that belt buckle

SMPfilmfan just look on eBay lol

He probably has it listed on eBay or Craigslist. David is piss poor broke and would sell Kimberly's underwear if he knew someone would buy them.

I have never heard this song, it is really good. Thanks for posting. Love all of his songs.

about the 33rd time I've heard it fantastic

D.A.C true rebel

Pete Drake[R.I.P.]on steel guitar.DAC from The Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy[1974 on Columbia].Excellent album-it's my very favorite country album[and i used to be a country DJ].

Maybe my favorite DAC song ever.Great,great song.I saw DAC in Phoenix,Az.in 1984.He was excellent.

and this song is beautiful

I want that belt buckle

Write and ask him to sell it to you. David is so Broke he would sell Kimberly's underwear if he knew someone would buy them.

It is such a shame that to so many young people miss this amazing song. David Allen Coe is a storyteller and an amazing talent. Thank you so much for posting this, it''s the first time I heard his version.

Thanks for posting this; so much of DAC's best work is far off of the public radar, and it's great to be able to access it via 'net!

what a beautiful song.....I saw DAC about 20+ years ago....just me and my girl and a dear friend too. Now both of them have passed away and this wonderful songs lives on and I have wonderful memories.

god bless all on this thanksgiving, pray for us all.

DAC made this one his , i love Mickey , but this one is killer

I have seen in concert DAC for 45 years. In University's in dives. I new and loved his dad.
