Story Behind The Song
In the blue collar world I grew up in, guys don't call their wife by her name. They say "she" or "her". It always irked me. The woman has a name. When I was diagnosed with cancer (I'm recovering) my wife said she would stand by me. That inspired this song

Lyrics
Call her by her name
D
She brings me joy and she shares my pain
A7
I love her like a rose loves rain
D
Won't you call her by her name
D G
Sometime when it hurts
D
She's the one that I hurt first
A7
Stands by me just the same
D
Won't you call her by her name
G
Every time that I have trouble
Trouble always seems to double
D
That's when she comes to me
G
When its more than I can stand
D
She reaches out and puts her hand in mine
G D A7
And she comforts me
A7 G
Call her by her name
D
She brings me joy and she shares my pain
A7
I love her like a rose loves rain
D
Won't you call her by her name
