Anybody have lyrics, chords, and/or mp3 of this song?
Some of the lyrics I found don't seem correct. They are:

Through the years with you I have often fallen
I've been every kind of fool a man can be
For I never had control of a devil in my soul
but somehow you never did give up on me

When I couldn't keep a word I struck at you
in my hunger for things I didn't need
When I could need a break or bend you were there to be my friend
And somehow you never did give up on me

And I'm proud to know God gave me such a woman
Who had eyes to see the good somewhere in me
Without you my life would only be a ruin
but somehow you never did give up on me

[ steel - guitar ]

And I'm proud to know...

Take Care

Not sure what you want exactly. I can't give you a mp3 or chord
listing, but I can listen to it and transcribe the lyrics if you can't
find them.

For what it's worth, I have it listed as "You Never Gave Up On Me",
and I'm ASS/U/ME ing I copied it off the record, so I'd bet that's how
it's listed.

If you STILL can't find them using the correct title, I'll try to
listen to it this week some time and post the lyrics.

I bet if you have a song by that name "You Never Gave Up On Me", it's by
Crystal Gayle!
Charley's is called "You Never Did Give Up On Me". I remember hearing it
but that's the only line I remember the melody to. No idea how the rest of
the song goes. I could guess at the chord progression just based on that
last line but would rather have the proper version.
I think I've figured out the line, "When I could need a break or bend you
were there to be my friend"
I think it's supposed to be "When I could neither break nor bend you were
there to be my friend".

How MUCH do you want to bet, IDGIT!!!!!!!!

Look, face it you're a MORON. You have NO CLUE which is why I've spent
more than 15 years beating you up like the red-headed step-child you
are.

Let's be honest, YOU HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT ANYTHING, which is why I
stopped posting to idgits like you a decade ago.

PUH-LEEZE!!!!! This has to be your day off, because ANYONE this
stooooopid works at Wal-Mart! Try to get your FAT Busgal PUMPKIN head
out of your lame, broken down wussy PT Cruiser long ebough to re-read
the post, so at least ther'e a POSSIBILITY you'll know what you're
talking about! EVERYBODY in the known universe KNOWS Crystal Gayle
recorded a song by that name, THE FFFFN POINT IS, SO DID CHARLEY
PRIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reread that about a million times, and then crawl
back in here with your sorry Busgal wussy riding PT Cruiser Pumpkin
head and apologize like the man your parents only wished they could
have had, BEFORE they committed suicide! : )

Additionally, since you're just as ignorant as Marla, remember to
search an extra ten or twenty dumpsters this week when you're scouring
the countryside for returnable cans, so you can at least have a couple
of dollars to help her pay her LOSING bet!!!!!!

Looks like you'll be staying in your trailer this week, because
unfortunately the money you lost in the bet means you'll be unable to
pay off your weekly $1000 repair bill for that PT Cruiser piece of
trash!

P.S. - Go back to lurking. You're embarassing REAL Country music fans.
(Again)

Surely Busgal has some extra rocks you can crawl under.

You off your meds again, Esker?? You are wrong in a big way!!

Charley Pride recorded:
"You Never Did Give Up On Me"
It starts with"
"Through the years with you I have often fallen
I've been every kind of fool a man can be"

Gayle Crystal recorded:
"You Never Gave Up On Me"
It starts with:
For all the times you stood by me,
Through right and wrong,

DIFFERENT TITLE, DIFFERENT LYRICS, DIFFERENT SONG!!!!!!!!!

Think now, why would a woman sing a song in which she states "I've
been every kind of fool a MAN can be"

Admit you're wrong and pay Merle!

BTW, when told last Novemeber that the PT needed a water pump (may as
well replace timing belt since it's behind the pump) a couple motor
mounts and two tires, I finally wised up and got rid of it. Picked up
a 2007 low milage, cherry Scion tC. Great little car!!

Believe me, if I HAD TO converse with you on a daily basis, I would
NEED a LOT more than meds. Thankfully I only have to a deal with you a
handful of times a year.

Secondly, as I've PROVEN over the last two decades I'M NEVER WRONG,
which is why I'm your benevolent KING, and you worship the ground I
walk on.
"You Never Did Give Up On Me"
It starts with"
"Through the years with you I have often fallen
I've been every kind of fool a man can be"
Wrong AGAIN IDGIT!!!! (Exactly how MANY times do I have to tell you
something before it sinks into that big pumpkin head of yours?)

Charley Pride NEVER recorded "You Never Did Give Up On Me" , BUT ...
he DID record "You Never Gave Up On Me" which begins:

"Through the years with you I have often
fallen"... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"You Never Gave Up On Me"
For all the times you stood by me,
Through right and wrong,
DIFFERENT TITLE, DIFFERENT LYRICS, DIFFERENT SONG!!!!!!!!!
Ah NOT EXACTLY IDGIT!!!!!!!!!!! (Again EXACTLY how many times do I
have to tell you something before it sinks into that vast wasteland on
top of your shoulders?????)

IT'S THE EXACT SAME TITLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Think now, why would a woman sing a song in which she states "I've
been every kind of fool a MAN can be"<
PUH - LEEZE! SEE ABOVE!!!!!!!!! Remember, if I wanted to work with the
"mentally challenged" five days a week I would have been a
psychologist. Stop embarassing yourself, re-read the information a
million times, and in the future stay off the computer! Thanks!
Admit you're wrong and pay Merle!<
You BOTH owe me another HUGE apology (again) , so don't forget to
crawl back in like the misbehaving red-headed step-children you
obviously are and while staying on your knees beg forgiveness from
your oh so humble King and country music savant.

P.S. - As a gesture of my benevolence and in an attempt to help my
adoring subjects, I will CORRECT the lyrics that were originally
posted .

The line is "for I never had control of "THE" devil in my soul

and

"when I could "NEITHER break NOR bend"



Remember, this is reason #7,236,981 why I truly am "THE KING"! : )
BTW, when told last Novemeber that the PT needed a water pump (may as
well replace timing belt since it's behind the pump) a couple motor
mounts and two tires, I finally wised up and got rid of it. Picked up

A FINAL helping hand. Two "KEY" words :

WHEN TOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Might want to "pick up" a new dealer/mechanic as well. Recommending
replacement of the water pump, is one of if not the "BIGGEST" repair
scam in America today! If you bring your vehicle in for service, at
around 50,000 miles, some/ a lot/ all dealerships (choose the correct
adjective) are going to tell you the water pump is gone, because as
you found out it leads to the "while we're at it", you're getting
close to the recommended timing belt replacement.

I'm happy to say I got the "service advisor" fired for trying to run
that one by me about three years ago. Long story short, I still have
the SAME water pump and naturally the original timing belt!

You're welcome! : )

And why was I adding 50/50 antifreeze/water all the time. And how do
you explain the puddle of 50/50 antifreeze/water under the car all the
time???

Hey IDGIT!!!!! You're assuming that Merle is not female. You could be
wrong, you know. No need to change name.

The meaning of the name Merle is Contracted form of Meriel. The
history and meaning of the name Merle is very fascinating and
interesting. Name Merle is a Girl name. The origin of beautiful and
unique baby name Merle is English, although name Merle along with the
other English baby names for Girls is popular in different regions of
the world.
