[00:00:00] Boy Named Sue (A) [In the Style of Johnny Cash (Karaoke Version Teaching Vocal)

[00:00:04] Well my daddy left home when i was three

[00:00:07] And he didn't leave much to ma and me

[00:00:10] Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze

[00:00:14] Now i don't blame him cause he run and hid

[00:00:16] But the meanest thing that he ever did

[00:00:19] Was before he left he went and named me sue

[00:00:25] Well he must o thought that is quite a joke

[00:00:27] And it got a lot of laughs from a lots of folk

[00:00:30] It seems i had to fight my whole life through

[00:00:34] Some gal would giggle and i'd get red

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

[00:00:39] I tell ya life ain't easy for a boy named sue

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

[00:00:49] My fist got hard and my wits got keen

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

[00:00:56] But i made me a vow to the moon and stars

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

[00:01:01] And kill that man who gave me that awful name

[00:01:06] Well it was gatlinburg in mid july

[00:01:08] And i just hit town and my throat was dry

[00:01:11] I thought i'd stop and have myself a brew

[00:01:15] At an old saloon on a street of mud

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

[00:01:20] Sat the dirty mangy dog that named me sue

[00:01:25] Well i knew that snake was my own sweet dad

[00:01:27] From a worn out picture that my mother had

[00:01:30] And i knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye

[00:01:35] He was big and bent and gray and old

[00:01:37] And i looked at him and my blood ran cold

[00:01:39] And i said my name is sue how do you do

[00:01:44] Now you're gonna die

[00:01:47] Yeah that's right i told

[00:01:51] Well i hit him hard right between the eyes

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

[00:01:56] He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear

[00:02:01] But i busted a chair right across his teeth

[00:02:03] And we crashed through the wall and into the street

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

[00:02:11] I tell ya i've fought tougher men

[00:02:13] But i really can't remember when

[00:02:16] He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile

[00:02:20] I heard him laugh and then i heard him curse

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

[00:02:25] He stood there lookin at me and i saw him smile

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

[00:02:32] And if a man's gonna make it he's gotta be tough

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

[00:02:39] So i give you that name and i said goodbye

[00:02:42] I knew you'd have to get tough or die

[00:02:45] And it's the name that helped to make you strong

[00:02:49] Yeah

[00:02:50] He said now you just fought one hell of a fight

[00:02:53] And i know you hate me and you got the right

[00:02:55] To kill me now and i wouldn't blame you if you do

[00:03:00] But you ought to thank me before i die

[00:03:02] For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye

[00:03:05] Cause i'm the son of a b**ch that named you sue

[00:03:08] Yeah

[00:03:08] What could i do what could i do

[00:03:11] I got all choked up and i threw down my gun

[00:03:13] And i called him my pa and he called me his son

[00:03:16] And i came away with a different point of view

[00:03:20] And i think about him now and then

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

[00:03:25] And if i ever have a son i think i'm gonna name him

[00:03:30] Bill or george any damn thing but sue
