[00:00:00] A Boy Named Sue (In the Style of Johnny Cash) (Demo Vocal Version) - ProSource Karaoke (专业卡拉ok)

[00:00:05] 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

[00:00:17] 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

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

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

[00:00:39] 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

[00:01:09] 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

[00:01:28] 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

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

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

[00:01:47] And he went down

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

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

[00:01:57] 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"

[00:02:50] 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

[00:03:09] What could I do Yeah what could I do

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

[00:03:14] 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

[00:03:26] And if I ever have a son I think I'm gonna name him

[00:03:30] Bill or George anything but Sue I still hate that name
