《A Boy Named Sue》歌词

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

[00:00:05] Well my daddy left home

[00:00:06] When I was three

[00:00:08] And he didn't leave much

[00:00:08] 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

[00:00:16] Cause he run and hid

[00:00:17] But the meanest thing

[00:00:18] That he ever did

[00:00:20] Was before he left

[00:00:21] He went and named me Sue

[00:00:26] Well he must o' thought

[00:00:27] 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

[00:00:32] My whole life through

[00:00:35] Some gal would giggle

[00:00:36] And I'd get red

[00:00:38] And some guy'd laugh

[00:00:38] And I'd bust his head

[00:00:39] I tell ya life ain't easy for

[00:00:42] A boy named Sue

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

[00:00:48] And I grew up mean

[00:00:50] My fist got hard

[00:00:50] And my wits got keen

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

[00:00:54] To hide my shame

[00:00:57] But I made me a vow

[00:00:58] To the moon and stars

[00:00:59] That I'd search the honky tonks

[00:01:00] And bars

[00:01:02] And kill that man who gave me

[00:01:04] That awful name

[00:01:06] Well it was Gatlinburg in mid July

[00:01:09] And I just hit town

[00:01:10] And my throat was dry

[00:01:12] I thought I'd stop

[00:01:13] 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

[00:01:23] That named me Sue

[00:01:26] Well I knew that snake was

[00:01:27] My own sweet dad

[00:01:28] From a worn out picture

[00:01:29] That my mother had

[00:01:31] And I knew that scar on his cheek

[00:01:32] And his evil eye

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

[00:01:37] And gray and old

[00:01:38] And I looked at him

[00:01:39] And my blood ran cold

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

[00:01:42] How do you do

[00:01:45] Now you're gonna die"

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

[00:01:54] Between the eyes

[00:01:55] And he went down

[00:01:56] 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

[00:02:03] Across his teeth

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

[00:02:05] And into the street

[00:02:07] 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

[00:02:14] But I really can't remember when

[00:02:16] He kicked like a mule

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

[00:02:21] I heard him laugh

[00:02:22] And then I heard him curse

[00:02:23] He went for his gun

[00:02:24] 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

[00:02:31] This world is rough

[00:02:33] And if a man's gonna make it

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

[00:02:36] And I knew I wouldn't be there

[00:02:37] To help you along

[00:02:40] So I give you that name

[00:02:41] And I said goodbye

[00:02:43] I knew you'd have to

[00:02:44] Get tough or die

[00:02:45] And it's the name

[00:02:46] That helped to make you strong"

[00:02:51] He said

[00:02:51] Now you just fought

[00:02:52] One hell of a fight

[00:02:53] And I know you hate me

[00:02:54] And you got the right

[00:02:56] To kill me now

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

[00:02:58] If you do

[00:03:01] But you ought to thank me

[00:03:02] Before I die

[00:03:03] For the gravel in ya guts

[00:03:04] And the spit in ya eye

[00:03:06] 'Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch

[00:03:07] That named you Sue

[00:03:09] What could I do

[00:03:10] Yeah what could I do

[00:03:11] I got all choked up

[00:03:12] 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

[00:03:17] A different point of view

[00:03:21] And I think about him

[00:03:22] Now and then

[00:03:24] Every time I try and every time I win

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

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

[00:03:31] Bill or George anything

[00:03:32] But Sue I still hate that name
