Don't Call Me Red - Ry Cooder

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

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

We survived those dark days full of danger

In the end fate has been good to me

If you’re in the neighbourhood, stranger

You’re welcome to drop in and see

My name is Frank, don’t turn me down

Don’t call me red
