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 old 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[00:00:27]

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

Well he must o' thought that is quite a joke[00:00:33]

And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk[00:00:36]

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

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

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

I 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'd roam 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]

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

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

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

And I 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 dealing stud[00:01:21]

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

Well I knew that snake was my own sweet dad[00:01:28]

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

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

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

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

And I said "My name is Sue How do you do [00:01:41]

Now you're 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]

He come up with a knife[00:01:56]

And cut off a piece of my ear[00:01:57]

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

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

And into the street[00:02:04]

Kicking and a' gouging in the mud[00:02:05]

And the blood and the beer[00:02:07]

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[00:02:13]

And he bit like a crocodile[00:02:15]

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

He went for his gun and 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 [00:02:29]

He's gotta be tough[00:02:30]

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

So I give 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 the name that[00:02:40]

Helped to make you strong"[00:02:41]

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

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

To kill me now [00:02:49]

And I wouldn't blame you if you do[00:02:50]

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

For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya 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 I threw down my gun[00:03:05]

And I called him my pa and he called me his son[00:03:07]

And I came 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[00:03:17]

And if I ever have a boy [00:03:19]

I'm name him[00:03:20]

Bill George or anything but Sue[00:03:22]

I still hate that name[00:03:25]
