Cash on 2/24/69 Number one - Country Charts Number two - Pop Charts My daddy left home when I was three And he didn`t leave much to ma and me Just 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 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`d get red And some guy`d laugh and I`d bust his head, I tell ya, 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 keen, I`d roam from town to town to hide my shame. But I made a vow to the moon and stars That I`d search the honky-tonks and bars And kill that 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`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`d 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: `My name is `Sue!` How do you do! Now your 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. 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`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, He went for his gun and 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 ya along. So I give ya that name and I said goodbye I knew you`d have to get tough or die And it`s the name that helped to make you strong.` He said: `Now you just fought one hell 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 ya ought to thank me, before I die, For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye Cause I`m the son-of-a-bitch that named you `Sue.`` 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 son, I think I`m gonna name him Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!
