[00:06.460] | Well my daddy left home when I was three |
[00:09.000] | And he didn't leave much to ma and me |
[00:11.540] | Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze. |
[00:16.000] | Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid |
[00:18.420] | But the meanest thing that he ever did |
[00:20.870] | Was before he left, he went and named me "Sue." |
[00:26.520] | Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke |
[00:28.990] | And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk, |
[00:31.910] | It seems I had to fight my whole life through. |
[00:36.250] | Some gal would giggle and I'd get red |
[00:38.830] | And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head |
[00:41.040] | I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue." |
[00:47.810] | Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean, |
[00:50.370] | My fist got hard and my wits got keen, |
[00:53.000] | I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame. |
[00:57.280] | But I made a vow to the moon and stars |
[00:59.910] | That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars |
[01:02.390] | And kill that man who gave me that awful name. |
[01:06.380] | Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July |
[01:08.960] | And I just hit town and my throat was dry, |
[01:11.780] | I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew. |
[01:15.980] | At an old saloon on a street of mud, |
[01:18.700] | There at a table, dealing stud, |
[01:21.040] | Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Sue." |
[01:25.340] | Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad |
[01:28.030] | From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had, |
[01:30.520] | And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye. |
[01:34.750] | He was big and bent and gray and old, |
[01:37.200] | And I looked at him and my blood ran cold |
[01:39.670] | And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' How do you do! |
[01:44.410] | Now your gonna die!!"(yeah yeah that's what I told him) |
[01:50.710] | Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes |
[01:53.770] | And he went down, but to my surprise, |
[01:56.310] | He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear. |
[02:00.450] | But I busted a chair right across his teeth |
[02:03.190] | And we crashed through the wall and into the street |
[02:05.930] | Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer. |
[02:10.130] | I tell ya, I've fought tougher men |
[02:12.460] | But I really can't remember when, |
[02:14.830] | He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile. |
[02:19.390] | I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss, |
[02:22.230] | He went for his gun and I pulled mine first, |
[02:24.540] | He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile. |
[02:27.830] | And he said: "Son, this world is rough |
[02:31.500] | And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough |
[02:34.020] | And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along. |
[02:38.300] | So I give ya that name and I said goodbye |
[02:40.600] | I knew you'd have to get tough or die |
[02:43.140] | And it's the name that helped to make you strong." |
[02:48.720] | He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight |
[02:51.570] | And I know you hate me, and you got the right |
[02:54.230] | To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do. |
[02:58.570] | But ya ought to thank me, before I die, |
[03:01.010] | For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye |
[03:04.530] | Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you "Sue.'" |
[03:11.390] | I got all choked up and I threw down my gun |
[03:14.040] | And I called him my pa, and he called me his son, |
[03:16.660] | And I came away with a different point of view. |
[03:20.690] | And I think about him, now and then, |
[03:23.440] | Every time I try and every time I win, |
[03:26.620] | And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him |
[03:31.240] | Bill or George! Anything but sue! I still hate that name! |
[00:06.460] | Well my daddy left home when I was three |
[00:09.000] | And he didn' t leave much to ma and me |
[00:11.540] | Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze. |
