Ry Cooder
Don’t Call Me Red
[Verse 1]
Don't call me red, don't turn me down, I've got a plan
Richard Neutra is my friend, and he's the man
He's been to school and he can see what's best for all of you
Please trust me
My name is Frank, don't turn me down, don't call me red

[Verse 2]
Every church has its prophets and its elders
God will love you if you just play ball, that's right
Fritz Burns, Chief Parker, and J. Edgar
I outlived those bastards after all

[Verse 3]
We survived those dark days full of danger
In the end fate has been good to me
If you're in the neighborhood, stranger
You're welcome to drop in and see
My name is Frank, don't turn me down
Don't call me red
