A Boy Named Sue (一个叫苏的男孩) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)[00:00:00]

Well my daddy left home when I was three[00:00:15]

And he didn't leave much to Ma and me[00:00:18]

Just this ole guitar and an empty bottle of booze[00:00:20]

Now I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid[00:00:24]

But the meanest thing that he ever did[00:00:26]

Was before he left he went and named me Sue[00:00:29]

He musta thought that it was quite a joke[00:00:33]

And it got a lot of laughs from lots a folks[00:00:35]

Seems I had to fight my whole life through[00:00:38]

Some gal would giggle and I'd turn red[00:00:42]

And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head[00:00:45]

I'll tell ya life ain't easy for a boy named Sue[00:00:47]

Well I grew up quick and I grew up mean[00:00:51]

My fist got hard and my wits got keen[00:00:54]

I roamed from town to town to hide my shame[00:00:56]

But I made me a vow to the Moon and stars[00:01:00]

I'd search the honky-tonks and bars[00:01:03]

And kill that man that give me that awful name[00:01:05]

Well it was Gatlinburg in mid-July[00:01:09]

And I'd just hit town and my throat was dry[00:01:12]

I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew[00:01:14]

At an old saloon on a street of mud[00:01:18]

There at a table dealin' stud[00:01:21]

Sat the dirty mangey dog that named me Sue[00:01:23]

Well I knew that snake was my own sweet dad[00:01:27]

From a worn out picture that my mother had[00:01:30]

And that scar on his cheek and his evil eye[00:01:32]

He was big and bent and grey and old[00:01:37]

And I looked at him and my blood ran cold and I said[00:01:39]

My name is Sue [00:01:42]

How do you do [00:01:44]

Now you gonna die [00:01:47]

Well I hit him hard right between the eyes[00:01:51]

And he went down but to my surprise[00:01:54]

Came up with a knife an' cut off a piece of my ear[00:01:56]

I busted a chair right across his teeth[00:02:00]

And we crashed through the wall and into the street[00:02:03]

Kickin' and a-gougin' in the mud and the blood and the beer[00:02:05]

I tell ya I've fought tougher men[00:02:09]

But I really can't remember when[00:02:12]

He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile[00:02:14]

Well I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss[00:02:19]

He went for his gun but I pulled mine first[00:02:21]

He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile[00:02:23]

And he said Son this world is rough[00:02:27]

And if a man's gonna make it he's gotta be tough[00:02:29]

And I know I wouldn't be there to help you along[00:02:31]

So I gave you that name and I said goodbye[00:02:35]

I knew you'd have to get tough or die[00:02:38]

And it's that name that helped to make you strong[00:02:40]

He said you just fought one hell of a fight[00:02:45]

And I know you hate me and ya got the right[00:02:47]

To kill me now and I wouldn't blame you if you do[00:02:49]

But you oughta thank me before I die[00:02:53]

For the gravel in your guts and the spit in the eye[00:02:56]

'Cause I'm the son-of-a-b**ch that named you Sue[00:02:58]

What could I do [00:03:03]

I got all choked up and threw down my gun[00:03:05]

Called him my Pa and he called me his son[00:03:08]

And I come away with a different point of view[00:03:10]

And I think about him now and then[00:03:14]

Every time I try and every time I win[00:03:16]

And if I ever have a boy I'm gonna name him[00:03:19]

Bill or George any-damn-thing but Sue [00:03:22]

Hate that name[00:03:26]
