A Boy Named Sue (Live) - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

Well my daddy left home when I was three[00:00:13]

And he didn't leave much to ma and me[00:00:15]

Just this ole guitar and an empty bottle of booze[00:00:17]

Now I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid[00:00:21]

But the meanest thing that he ever did[00:00:23]

Was before he left he went and named me sue[00:00:26]

Well he musta thought that it was quite a joke[00:00:30]

And it got a lot of laughs from lots a folks[00:00:32]

Seems I had to fight my whole life through[00:00:34]

Some gal would giggle and I'd get red[00:00:38]

And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head[00:00:40]

I'll tell ya life ain't easy for a boy named sue[00:00:43]

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 roamed 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]

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

Kill that man that give me that awful name[00:01:01]

Well it was gatlinburg in mid July[00:01:04]

And I'd just hit town and my throat was dry[00:01:07]

I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew[00:01:09]

At an old saloon on a street of mud[00:01:13]

There at a table dealin' stud[00:01:16]

Sat the dirty mangey dog that named me sue[00:01:18]

Well I knew that snake was my own sweet dad[00:01:22]

From a worn out picture that my mother had[00:01:24]

And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye[00:01:26]

He was big and bent and grey and old[00:01:31]

And I looked at him and my blood ran cold and I said[00:01:33]

My name is sue how do you do now you gonna die[00:01:36]

But I hit him hard right between the eyes[00:01:47]

You are down but to my surprise[00:01:49]

Came up with a knife an' cut off a piece of my ear[00:01:51]

I busted a chair right across his teeth[00:01:55]

And we crashed through the wall and into the street[00:01:57]

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

I tell ya I've fought tougher men[00:02:04]

But I really can't remember when[00:02:06]

He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile[00:02:09]

Well I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss[00:02:13]

He went for his gun but I pulled mine first[00:02:15]

He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile[00:02:18]

And he said son this world is rough[00:02:21]

And if a man's gonna make it he's gotta be tough[00:02:23]

And I know I wouldn't be there to help you along[00:02:25]

So I gave you that name and I said goodbye[00:02:29]

I knew you'd have to get tough or die[00:02:31]

And it's that name that helped to make you strong[00:02:34]

Yeah he said now you just fought one hell of a fight[00:02:37]

And I know you hate me got the right[00:02:40]

To kill me now and I wouldn't blame you if you do[00:02:42]

But you oughta thank me before I die[00:02:46]

For the gravel in your guts and the spit in the eye[00:02:49]

'Cause I'm the son of a bitch that named you sue[00:02:51]

What could I do[00:02:54]

What I got all choked up and threw down my gun[00:02:57]

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

And I come away with a different point of view[00:03:02]

And I think about him now and then[00:03:06]

Every time I try and every time I win[00:03:08]

And if I ever have a son I think I'm gonna name him[00:03:11]
