flatt and scruggs - Boy Named Sue слова песни




Well my daddy left home when I was three and he didn`t leave much for Ma and meJust this old guitar and an empty bottle of boozeNow I don`t blame him because he run and hidBut the meanest thing that he ever did was before he left he went and named me SueWell he must have thought it was quite a jokeAnd it got lots of laughs from a lot of folksIt seems I had to fight my whole life throughSome gal would giggle and I`d get red some guy would laugh and I`d bust his headI tell you life ain`t easy for a boy named SueWell I grew up quick and I grew up mean my fist got hard and my wits got keenI roamed from town to town to hide my shameWell I made my vows to the moon and stars I`d search the honky tonks and the barsAnd kill that man that gave me that awful nameWell it was Gatlinsburg in mid July and I just hit town and my throat was dryI`d thought I`d stop and have myself a brewAt an old saloon on a street of mud there at a table dealing studSat that dirty mangy dog that named me SueWell I knew that sneak was my own sweet dadFrom a wornout picture that my mother hadAnd I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eyeHe was big and bent and gray and old and I looked at him and my blood ran coldAnd I said my name is Sue how do you doNow you`re gonna die yeah that`s what I told himWell I hit him hard right between the eyes and he went down but to my surpriceHe came up with a knife and cut off a piece of my earWell I busted a chair right across his teethAnd we crashed through the wall and into the streetKickin` and a gougin` in the mud and the blood and the beerI tell you I`ve fought tougher men but I really can`t remember whenHe kicked like a mule and bit like a crocodileI heard him laug and I heard him cuss he went for his gun and I pulled mine firstHe stood there looking at me and I saw him smileAnd he said son this world is rough and if a man`s gonna make it he`s gotta be toughAnd I know I wouldn`t be there to help you alongSo I gave you that name and I said goodbye I knew you`d have to get tough or dieAnd it`s that name that helped to make you strongHe said you fought one heck of a fightAnd I know you hate me and you`ve got the rightTo kill me now I wouldn`t blame you if you doBut you oughta thank me before I dieFor the gravel in your guts and the spit in your eyeFor I`m the uh-huh uh-huh that named you Sue(Lester what the hell that you say)Yeah what could I doI got all choked up and I threw down the gun called him a Pa and he called me sonAnd I come away with a different point of viewAnd I think about him now and then every time I tried every time I winAnd if I ever have a son I think I`ll name him well I ain`t gonna name him SueI`m gonna call him Johnny Cash
