A Boy Named Sue (一个叫苏的男孩) - The Sheltons[00:00:00]
Well my daddy left home[00:00:05]
When I was three[00:00:06]
And he didn't leave much[00:00:08]
To ma and me[00:00:08]
Just this old guitar[00:00:10]
And an empty bottle of booze[00:00:11]
Now I don't blame him[00:00:15]
Cause he run and hid[00:00:16]
But the meanest thing[00:00:17]
That he ever did[00:00:18]
Was before he left [00:00:20]
He went and named me Sue[00:00:21]
Well he must o' thought[00:00:26]
That is quite a joke[00:00:27]
And it got a lot of laughs[00:00:28]
From a' lots of folk[00:00:29]
It seems I had to fight[00:00:31]
My whole life through[00:00:32]
Some gal would giggle[00:00:35]
And I'd get red[00:00:36]
And some guy'd laugh[00:00:38]
And I'd bust his head[00:00:38]
I tell ya life ain't easy for[00:00:39]
A boy named Sue[00:00:42]
Well I grew up quick[00:00:47]
And I grew up mean[00:00:48]
My fist got hard[00:00:50]
And my wits got keen[00:00:50]
I'd roam from town to town[00:00:52]
To hide my shame[00:00:54]
But I made me a vow[00:00:57]
To the moon and stars[00:00:58]
That I'd search the honky tonks[00:00:59]
And bars[00:01:00]
And kill that man who gave me[00:01:02]
That awful name[00:01:04]
Well it was Gatlinburg in mid July[00:01:06]
And I just hit town[00:01:09]
And my throat was dry[00:01:10]
I thought I'd stop[00:01:12]
And have myself a brew[00:01:13]
At an old saloon on a street of mud[00:01:16]
There at a table dealing stud[00:01:18]
Sat the dirty mangy dog[00:01:21]
That named me Sue[00:01:23]
Well I knew that snake was[00:01:26]
My own sweet dad[00:01:27]
From a worn out picture[00:01:28]
That my mother had[00:01:29]
And I knew that scar on his cheek[00:01:31]
And his evil eye[00:01:32]
He was big and bent[00:01:35]
And gray and old[00:01:37]
And I looked at him[00:01:38]
And my blood ran cold[00:01:39]
And I said "My name is Sue [00:01:40]
How do you do [00:01:42]
Now you're gonna die"[00:01:45]
Well I hit him hard right[00:01:52]
Between the eyes[00:01:54]
And he went down [00:01:55]
But to my surprise[00:01:56]
He come up with a knife[00:01:57]
And cut off a piece of my ear[00:01:58]
But I busted a chair right[00:02:02]
Across his teeth[00:02:03]
And we crashed through the wall[00:02:04]
And into the street[00:02:05]
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud[00:02:07]
And the blood and the beer[00:02:08]
I tell ya I've fought tougher men[00:02:11]
But I really can't remember when[00:02:14]
He kicked like a mule[00:02:16]
And he bit like a crocodile[00:02:17]
I heard him laugh[00:02:21]
And then I heard him curse[00:02:22]
He went for his gun[00:02:23]
And I pulled mine first[00:02:24]
He stood there lookin' at me[00:02:26]
And I saw him smile[00:02:27]
And he said "Son [00:02:29]
This world is rough[00:02:31]
And if a man's gonna make it [00:02:33]
He's gotta be tough[00:02:34]
And I knew I wouldn't be there[00:02:36]
To help you along[00:02:37]
So I give you that name[00:02:40]
And I said goodbye[00:02:41]
I knew you'd have to[00:02:43]
Get tough or die[00:02:44]
And it's the name[00:02:45]
That helped to make you strong"[00:02:46]
He said [00:02:51]
Now you just fought[00:02:51]
One hell of a fight[00:02:52]
And I know you hate me [00:02:53]
And you got the right[00:02:54]
To kill me now [00:02:56]
And I wouldn't blame you[00:02:57]
If you do[00:02:58]
But you ought to thank me [00:03:01]
Before I die[00:03:02]
For the gravel in ya guts[00:03:03]
And the spit in ya eye[00:03:04]
'Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch[00:03:06]
That named you Sue[00:03:07]
What could I do [00:03:09]
Yeah what could I do [00:03:10]
I got all choked up[00:03:11]
And I threw down my gun[00:03:12]
And I called him my pa [00:03:14]
And he called me his son[00:03:15]
And I came away with[00:03:16]
A different point of view[00:03:17]
And I think about him [00:03:21]
Now and then[00:03:22]
Every time I try and every time I win[00:03:24]
And if I ever have a son [00:03:26]
Think I'm gonna name him[00:03:28]
Bill or George anything[00:03:31]
But Sue I still hate that name[00:03:32]
