Boy Named Sue (A) [In the Style of Johnny Cash (Karaoke Version Teaching Vocal)[00:00:00]

Well my daddy left home when i was three[00:00:04]

And he didn't leave much to ma and me[00:00:07]

Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze[00:00:10]

Now i don't blame him cause he run and hid[00:00:14]

But the meanest thing that he ever did[00:00:16]

Was before he left he went and named me sue[00:00:19]

Well he must o thought that is quite a joke[00:00:25]

And it got a lot of laughs from a lots of folk[00:00:27]

It seems i had to fight my whole life through[00:00:30]

Some gal would giggle and i'd get red[00:00:34]

And some guy'd laugh and i'd bust his head[00:00:37]

I tell ya life ain't easy for a boy named sue[00:00:39]

Well i grew up quick and i grew up mean[00:00:47]

My fist got hard and my wits got keen[00:00:49]

I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame[00:00:52]

But i made me a vow to the moon and stars[00:00:56]

That i'd search the honky tonks and bars[00:00:58]

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

Well it was gatlinburg in mid july[00:01:06]

And i just hit town and my throat was dry[00:01:08]

I thought i'd stop and have myself a brew[00:01:11]

At an old saloon on a street of mud[00:01:15]

There at a table dealing stud[00:01:18]

Sat the dirty mangy dog that named me sue[00:01:20]

Well i knew that snake was my own sweet dad[00:01:25]

From a worn out picture that my mother had[00:01:27]

And i knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye[00:01:30]

He was big and bent and gray and old[00:01:35]

And i looked at him and my blood ran cold[00:01:37]

And i said my name is sue how do you do[00:01:39]

Now you're gonna die[00:01:44]

Yeah that's right i told[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 and cut off a piece of my ear[00:01:56]

But i busted a chair right across his teeth[00:02:01]

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

Kicking and a gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer[00:02:06]

I tell ya i've fought tougher men[00:02:11]

But i really can't remember when[00:02:13]

He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile[00:02:16]

I heard him laugh and then i heard him curse[00:02:20]

He went for his gun and i pulled mine first[00:02:23]

He stood there lookin at me and i saw him smile[00:02:25]

And he said son this world is rough[00:02:29]

And if a man's gonna make it he's gotta be tough[00:02:32]

And i knew i wouldn't be there to help you along[00:02:35]

So i give you that name and i said goodbye[00:02:39]

I knew you'd have to get tough or die[00:02:42]

And it's the name that helped to make you strong[00:02:45]

Yeah[00:02:49]

He said now you just fought one hell of a fight[00:02:50]

And i know you hate me and you got the right[00:02:53]

To kill me now and i wouldn't blame you if you do[00:02:55]

But you ought to thank me before i die[00:03:00]

For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye[00:03:02]

Cause i'm the son of a b**ch that named you sue[00:03:05]

Yeah[00:03:08]

What could i do what could i do[00:03:08]

I got all choked up and i threw down my gun[00:03:11]

And i called him my pa and he called me his son[00:03:13]

And i came away with a different point of view[00:03:16]

And i think about him now and then[00:03:20]

Every time i try and every time i win[00:03:23]

And if i ever have a son i think i'm gonna name him[00:03:25]

Bill or george any damn thing but sue[00:03:30]
