A Boy Named Sue - Dexter Gordon,Sonny Clark,Butch Warren,Billy Higgins

Well my daddy left home when I was three And he didn'tleave much to ma and me Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze Now I don'tblame him 'causehe run and hid But the meanest thing that he ever did Was before he left he went and named me Sue Well he must o'thought that is quite a joke And it got a lot of laughs from a'lots of folk It seems I had to fight my whole life through Some gal would giggle and I'dget red And some guy'dlaugh and I'dbust his head I tell ya life ain'teasy for a boy named Sue Well I grew up quick and I grew up mean My fist got hard and my wits got keen I'droam from town to town to hide my shame But I made me a vow to the moon and stars That I'dsearch the H***ytonks and bars And k**lthat man who gave me that awful name Well it was Gatlinburg in mid July And I just hit town and my throat was dry I thought I'dstop 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 And I 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 "Myname is Sue How do you do Now you'regonna 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 But I busted a chair right across his teeth And we crashed through the wall And into the street Kicking and a'gouging in the mud And the blood and the beer I tell ya I'vefought tougher men But I really can'tremember when He kicked like a mule And he bit like a crocodile I heard him laugh and then I heard him curse He went for his gun and I pulled mine first He stood there lookin'at me and I saw him smile And he said "Sonthis world is rough And if a man'sgonna make it He'sgotta be tough And I knew I wouldn'tbe there to help you along So I give you that name and I said goodbye I knew you'dhave to get tough or die And it'sthe name that Helped to make you strong"He said "Nowyou just fought one hell of a fight And I know you hate me and you got the right To k**lme now And I wouldn'tblame you if you do But you ought to thank me before I die For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye 'CauseI'mthe sonofab**chthat named you Sue What could I do I got all choked up and I threw down my gun And I called him my pa and he called me his son And I came 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'mname him Bill George or anything but Sue I still hate that name
