《A Boy Named Sue》歌词

[00:00:00] A Boy Named Sue (一个叫苏的男孩) - Country Crusaders

[00:00:05] My daddy left home when I was three

[00:00:08] And he didn't leave much to ma and me

[00:00:10] Just this old guitar

[00:00:11] And an empty bottle of booze

[00:00:15] Now I don't blame him cause he run and hid

[00:00:17] But the meanest thing that he ever did

[00:00:19] Was before he left

[00:00:20] He went and named me "Sue "

[00:00:26] Well he must o' thought that is quite a joke

[00:00:28] And it got a lot of laughs

[00:00:29] From a' lots of folk

[00:00:31] It seems I had to fight my whole life through

[00:00:35] Some gal would giggle and I'd get red

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

[00:00:40] I tell ya life ain't easy

[00:00:42] For a boy named "Sue "

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

[00:00:50] My fist got hard and my wits got keen

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

[00:00:57] But I made a vow to the moon and stars

[00:00:59] 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

[00:01:16] At an old saloon on a street of mud

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

[00:01:21] Sat the dirty mangy dog that named me "Sue "

[00:01:26] Well I knew that snake was my own sweet dad

[00:01:28] From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had

[00:01:30] And I knew that scar

[00:01:31] On his cheek and his evil eye

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

[00:01:38] And I looked at him and my blood ran cold

[00:01:40] And I said: "My name is 'Sue ' How do you do

[00:01:45] Now your gonna die "

[00:01:52] Well I hit him hard right between the eyes

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

[00:01:57] He come up with a knife

[00:01:58] And cut off a piece of my ear

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

[00:02:04] And we crashed through the wall

[00:02:05] And into the street

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

[00:02:08] 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

[00:02:17] And he bit like a crocodile

[00:02:19] I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss

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

[00:02:26] He stood there lookin' at me

[00:02:27] 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

[00:02:34] He's gotta be tough

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

[00:02:40] So I give ya 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] 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

[00:02:56] To kill me now

[00:02:57] And I wouldn't blame you if you do

[00:03:00] But ya 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 '"

[00:03:09] What can i do what can i do

[00:03:12] I got all choked up and I threw down my gun

[00:03:14] And I called him my pa

[00:03:15] And he called me his son

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

[00:03:21] And I think about him now and then

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

[00:03:26] And if I ever have a son

[00:03:28] I think I'm gonna name him

[00:03:31] Bill or George Anything but Sue

[00:03:34] I still hate that name
