[00:16.55] | My daddy left home when I was three |
[00:18.71] | And he didn't leave much to Ma and me |
[00:21.02] | Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze. |
[00:25.70] | Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid |
[00:28.17] | But the meanest thing that he ever did |
[00:30.25] | Was before he left, he went and named me 'Sue.' |
[00:34.10] | |
[00:36.43] | Well, he must o' thought that is was quite a joke |
[00:38.55] | And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk, |
[00:40.83] | It seems I had to fight my whole life through. |
[00:45.66] | Some gal would giggle and I'd get red |
[00:47.97] | And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head, |
[00:50.49] | I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named 'Sue.' |
[00:54.44] | |
[00:57.72] | Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean, |
[01:00.03] | My fist got hard and my wits got keen, |
[01:02.35] | I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame. |
[01:07.01] | But I made me a vow to the moon and stars |
[01:09.43] | That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars |
[01:11.75] | And kill that man that give me that awful name. |
[01:15.11] | |
[01:16.34] | Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July |
[01:18.70] | And I just hit town and my throat was dry, |
[01:21.15] | I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew. |
[01:25.65] | At an old saloon on a street of mud, |
[01:28.13] | There at a table, dealing stud, |
[01:30.61] | Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me 'Sue.' |
[01:34.60] | |
[01:35.11] | Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad |
[01:37.62] | From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had, |
[01:39.86] | And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye. |
[01:44.42] | He was big and bent and gray and old, |
[01:46.88] | And I looked at him and my blood ran cold |
[01:49.25] | And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' how do you do! Now you gonna die!" |
[01:55.74] | |
[02:00.75] | Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes |
[02:03.15] | And he went down but, to my surprise, |
[02:05.68] | He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear. |
[02:10.21] | But I busted a chair right across his teeth |
[02:12.49] | And we crashed through the wall and into the street |
[02:14.66] | Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer. |
[02:18.34] | |
[02:19.82] | I tell ya, I've fought tougher men |
[02:21.84] | But I really can't remember when, |
[02:24.18] | He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile. |
[02:28.93] | I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss, |
[02:31.38] | He went for his gun and I pulled mine first, |
[02:34.11] | He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile. |
[02:37.08] | |
[02:37.86] | And he said: "Son, this world is rough |
[02:41.20] | And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough |
[02:43.90] | And I know I wouldn't be there to help ya along. |
[02:48.25] | So I give ya that name and I said good-bye |
[02:50.67] | I knew you'd have to get tough or die |
[02:53.16] | And it's that name that helped to make you strong." |
[02:56.60] | |
[02:59.00] | He said: 'Now you just fought one hell of a fight |
[03:01.33] | And I know you hate me, and you got the right |
[03:03.61] | To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do. |
[03:08.38] | But ya ought to thank me, before I die, |
[03:10.74] | For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye |
[03:13.36] | Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you 'Sue'.' |
[03:17.31] | |
[03:21.36] | I got all choked up and I threw down my gun |
[03:24.07] | And I called him my pa, and he called me his son, |
[03:26.32] | And I come away with a different point of view. |
[03:30.68] | And I think about him, now and then, |
[03:33.07] | Every time I try and every time I win, |
[03:35.70] | And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him |
[03:40.79] | Bill or George! Anything but sue! I still hate that name! |
[00:16.55] | My daddy left home when I was three |
[00:18.71] | And he didn t leave much to Ma and me |
[00:21.02] | Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze. |
[00:25.70] | Now, I don t blame him cause he run and hid |
