Karaoke Track: Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash (Monster Hits)

Well my daddy left home

When I was three
And he did n&#39;f leave much
For mo and me

Now I don&#39;t blame him
&#39;Cause he run and hid

Buf the meanest thing
That he ever did

Well, he must have 1houghf
That if was quite a ioke

And it got a IoHa laughs
From a lot of folks

Some gal would giggle
And I&#39;d get red

And some guy&#39;d laugh
And I&#39;d bust his head

Well, I grew up quick
And I grew up mean

My fist got hard and
My wits got keen

But I made me a vow
To the moon and stars

I&#39;d search the
Honky-ionks and bars

Well, if was Gaflinburg
In mid-July

And I&#39;d just hit town
And my throat was dry

I thought I&#39;d stop and

Have myself a brew

At an old saloon
On a street of mud

There at a table
Dealin&#39; stud

Well, I knew that snake
Was my own sweet dad
From a worn-ou1 picture

That my mother had

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&#39;re gonna die

Yeah, that&#39;s what I told him

Well I hit him hard
Right between the eyes

And he went down
But to my surprise

But I busted a chair
Right across his teeth

And we crashed
Through the wall
And info the street

I tell ya, I&#39;ve fought
Tougher men

Buf I really can&#39;t
Remember when

I heard him laugh

And Ihen I heard him cuss
And he went for his gun
And I pulled mine first

He said son
This world is rough

And if a man&#39;s gonna

Make it
He&#39;s gotta be tough

So I give you that name

And I said good bye

I knew you&#39;d have to
Get tough or die

And it&#39;s that name

That helped to
Make you strong, yeah

He said, now you iusf
Fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hafe me
And you got 1he right

But you oughta ihank me
Before I die

For he gravel in your guts
And he spit in your eye

And I come away

With a d ifferenf

Point of view

And I think about him

Now a nd ihen

Every time I try and
Every time I win

And if I ever have a son

I 1hink I&#39;m gonna name him
Bill or George

Any1hing but Sue

I sii hafe ihaf name, yeah
