paroles de chanson A Boy Named Sue - Johnny Cash
Thank
you
Well,
my
daddy
left
home
when
I
was
three
Didn't
leave
very
much
to
my
mom
and
me
Except
this
old
guitar
and
an
empty
bottle
of
booze
Now,
I
don't
blame
him
'cause
he
run
and
hid
But
the
meanest
thing
that
my
daddy
ever
did
Was
before
he
left,
he
went
and
named
me
Sue
He
must've
thought
that
it
was
quite
a
joke
And
I
got
a
lot
of
laughs
from
a
lots
of
folk
Seems
I
had
to
fight
my
whole
life
through
Some
gal
would
giggle
and
I'd
turn
red
And
some
guy'd
laugh
and
I'd
bust
his
head
I
tell
you,
life
ain't
easy
for
a
boy
named
Sue
Well,
I
grew
up
quick
and
I
grew
up
mean
My
fist
got
hard
and
my
wits
got
keener
Roam
from
town
to
town
to
hide
my
shame
But
I
made
me
a
vow
to
the
moon
and
stars
I'd
search
the
honky
tonks
and
bars
And
kill
that
man
that
gave
me
that
awful
name
Well,
it
was
Gatlinburg
in
mid-July
And
I
just
hit
town
and
my
throat
was
dry
Thought
I'd
stop
and
have
myself
a
brew
At
an
old
saloon
on
a
street
of
mud
There
at
a
table,
dealing
stud
Sat
the
dirty,
mangy
dog
that
named
me
Sue
Well,
I
knew
that
snake
was
my
own
sweet
dad
From
a
worn-out
picture
that
my
mother
had
Knew
that
scar
on
his
cheek
and
his
evil
eye
He
was
big
and
bent
and
gray
and
old
And
I
looked
at
him
and
my
blood
ran
cold
And
I
said,
"My
name
is
Sue,
how
do
you
do?
Now
you
gonna
die"
Well,
I
hit
him
hard
right
between
the
eyes
And
he
went
down,
but
to
my
surprise
He
come
up
with
a
knife
and
cut
off
a
piece
of
my
ear
Then
I
busted
a
chair
right
across
his
teeth
And
we
crashed
through
the
walls
and
into
the
street
Kicking
and
a-gouging
in
the
mud
and
the
blood
and
the
beer
Well,
I
tell
you,
I've
fought
tougher
men
But
I
really
can't
remember
when
He
kicked
like
a
mule
and
he
bit
like
a
crocodile
I
heard
him
laugh
and
then
I
heard
him
cuss
And
he
reached
for
his
gun
but
I
pulled
mine
first
He
stood
there
lookin'
at
me
and
I
saw
him
smile
And
he
said,
"Son,
this
world
is
rough
And
if
a
man's
gonna
make
it,
he's
gotta
be
tough
And
I
knew
I
wouldn't
be
there
to
help
you
along
So
I
give
you
that
name,
and
I
said
goodbye
And
I
knew
you'd
have
to
get
tough
or
die
It's
that
name
that
helped
to
make
you
strong"
He
said,
"Now
you
just
fought
one
heck
of
a
fight
And
I
know
you
hate
me,
and
you
got
the
right
to
kill
me
now
And
I
wouldn't
blame
you
if
you
do
But
you
ought
to
thank
me,
before
I
die
For
the
gravel
in
ya
gut
and
the
spit
in
ya
eye
'Cause
I'm
the
f_
that
named
you
Sue"
What
could
I
do?
I
got
all
choked
up
and
I
threw
down
my
gun
I
called
him
my
pa,
and
he
called
me
his
son
Come
away
with
a
different
point
of
view
And
I
think
about
him,
now
and
then
Every
time
I
try
and
every
time
I
win
And
if
I
ever
have
a
boy,
I'll
name
him
Bill
or
George
or
Frank,
anything
but
Sue
Petor,
I
hate
that
name
Thank
you
