Bruce Cockburn - Call Me Rose Lyrics
My name was Richard Nixon only now I'm a girl
You wouldn't know it but I used to be the king of the world
Compared to last time I look like I've hit the skids
Living in the project with my two little kids
Now you have to call me Rose
I was the boss of bosses the last time around
I lived by cunning and ambition unbound
The suckers said they'd stand behind me right or wrong
As if they thought that hubris was the mark of the strong
I was an arrogant man
But now I've got it in hand
It's not what I would have chose
Call me Rose
Call me Rose
It's not what I would have chose
Now you have to call me Rose
My name is Richard Nixon only now I'm a girl
You wouldn't know it but I used to be the king of the world
I'm back here learning what it is to be poor
To have no power but the strength to endure
I'll perform my penance well
Maybe the memoir will sell
It's not what I would have chose
Now you have to call me Rose
Now you have to call me Rose

Bruce said he dreamt the song, woke up and wrote it down. Glad that happened. ... still relevant in current politix.
Amazing guitar playing, amazing words- so insightful, just brilliant Bruce...
Aw thanks that's so sweet! I'm so glad you enjoy it :) Bruce Cockburn is the best :)
no problem. I couldn't find any other video of it anywhere on youtube, so I made one. It's too bad Bruce Cockburn isn't as popular these days............ wasn't alive back in the 1980s, but I wish I had been. Those sound like they were the good days....for music at least.
I can't find chords or tabs for this song anywhere.
Bruce Cockburn was the soundtrack for college years in the 1980s. Rocket Launcher was huge but I only heard this song for the first time yesterday and I love it. Thanks for putting it up.
BRUCE COCKBURN!!!!
