A Boy Named Sue (一个叫苏的男孩) - Country Crusaders[00:00:00]

My daddy left home when I was three[00:00:05]

And he didn't leave much 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 cause he run and hid[00:00:15]

But the meanest thing that he ever did[00:00:17]

Was before he left [00:00:19]

He went and named me "Sue "[00:00:20]

Well he must o' thought that is quite a joke[00:00:26]

And it got a lot of laughs[00:00:28]

From a' lots of folk [00:00:29]

It seems I had to fight my whole life through [00:00:31]

Some gal would giggle and I'd get red[00:00:35]

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

I tell ya life ain't easy[00:00:40]

For a boy named "Sue "[00:00:42]

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

My fist got hard and my wits got keen [00:00:50]

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

But I made a vow to the moon and stars[00:00:57]

That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars[00:00:59]

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 [00:01:16]

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

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[00:01:30]

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 [00:01:40]

Now your gonna die "[00:01:45]

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

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

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 across his teeth[00:02:02]

And we crashed through the wall[00:02:04]

And into the street[00:02:05]

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

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 [00:02:13]

He kicked like a mule[00:02:16]

And he bit like a crocodile [00:02:17]

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

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

He stood there lookin' at me[00:02:26]

And I saw him smile [00:02:27]

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

And if a man's gonna make it [00:02:32]

He's gotta be tough[00:02:34]

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

So I give ya that name and I said goodbye[00:02:40]

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]

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[00:02:53]

To kill me now [00:02:56]

And I wouldn't blame you if you do [00:02:57]

But ya 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]

What can i do what can i do[00:03:09]

I got all choked up 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 a different point of view [00:03:16]

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

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

And if I ever have a son [00:03:26]

I think I'm gonna name him[00:03:28]

Bill or George Anything but Sue [00:03:31]

I still hate that name[00:03:34]
