A Boy Named Sue (In the Style of Johnny Cash)(Performance Track with Demonstration Vocals|In the Style of Johnny Cash|Performance)

My daddy left home when I was three

  • My daddy left home when I was three
  • And he didn't leave much to ma and me
  • Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze
  • Now I don't blame him cause he run and hid
  • But the meanest thing that he ever did
  • Was before he left he went and named me "Sue "
  • Well he must thought that is quite a joke
  • And it got a lot of laughs from lots of folk'
  • It seems I had to fight my whole life through
  • Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
  • And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head
  • Life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue "
  • Well I grew up quick and I grew up mean
  • My fist got hard and my wits got keen
  • From town to town to hide my shame
  • But I made a vow to the moon and stars
  • That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
  • And kill that man who gave me that awful name
  • Well it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
  • And I just hit town and my throat was dry
  • I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew
  • At an old saloon on a street of mud
  • There at a table dealing stud
  • Sat the dirty mangy dog that named me "Sue "
  • Well I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
  • From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had
  • And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye
  • He was big and bent and gray and old
  • And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
  • And I said: "My name is 'Sue ' How do you do
  • Now your gonna die "
  • Well I hit him hard right between the eyes
  • And he went down but to my surprise
  • He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear
  • But I busted a chair right across his teeth
  • And we crashed through the wall and into the street
  • Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer
  • I tell ya I've fought tougher men
  • But I really can't remember when
  • He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile
  • I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss
  • He went for his gun and I pulled mine first
  • He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile
  • And he said: "Son this world is rough
  • And if a man's gonna make it he's gotta be tough
  • And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along
  • So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
  • I knew you'd have to get tough or die
  • And it's the name that helped to make you strong "
  • He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
  • And I know you hate me and you got the right
  • To kill me now and I wouldn't blame you if you do
