My daddy left home when I was three[00:00:07]

And he didn't leave much to Ma and me[00:00:10]

Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze [00:00:12]

Now' I don't blame him cause he run and hid[00:00:17]

But the meanest thing that he ever did[00:00:19]

Was before he left' he went and named me 'Sue '[00:00:21]

Well' he must o' thought that is was quite a joke[00:00:27]

And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk'[00:00:30]

It seems I had to fight my whole life through [00:00:32]

Some gal would giggle and I'd get red[00:00:37]

And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head'[00:00:39]

I tell ya' life ain't easy for a boy named 'Sue '[00:00:41]

Well' I grew up quick and I grew up mean'[00:00:48]

My fist got hard and my wits got keen'[00:00:51]

I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame [00:00:53]

But I made me a vow to the moon and stars[00:00:58]

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

And kill that man that give me that awful name [00:01:03]

Well' it was Gatlinburg in mid-July[00:01:07]

And I just hit town and my throat was dry'[00:01:09]

I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew [00:01:12]

At an old saloon on a street of mud'[00:01:17]

There at a table' dealing stud'[00:01:19]

Sat the dirty' mangy dog that named me 'Sue '[00:01:21]

Well' I knew that snake was my own sweet dad[00:01:26]

From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had'[00:01:28]

And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye [00:01:31]

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

And I looked at him and my blood ran cold[00:01:38]

And I said: "My name is 'Sue ' how do you do Now you gonna die "[00:01:40]

Well' I hit him hard right between the eyes[00:01:52]

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

Hee up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear [00:01:57]

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 [00:02:15]

I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss'[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[00:02:28]

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

And I know I wouldn't be there to help ya along [00:02:34]

So I give ya that name and I said good-bye[00:02:39]

I knew you'd have to get tough or die[00:02:41]

And it's that name that helped to make you strong "[00:02:43]

He said: 'Now you just fought one hell of a fight[00:02:49]

And I know you hate me' and you got the right[00:02:52]

To kill me now' and I wouldn't blame you if you do [00:02:54]

But ya ought to thank me' before I die'[00:02:59]

For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye[00:03:01]

Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you 'Sue' '[00:03:04]

I got all choked up and I threw down my gun[00:03:12]

And I called him my pa' and he called me his son'[00:03:14]

And Ie away with a different point of view [00:03:17]

And I think about him' now and then'[00:03:21]

Every time I try and every time I win'[00:03:24]

And if I ever have a son' I think I'm gonna name him[00:03:27]

Bill or George Anything but sue I still hate that name[00:03:31]
