Tekst van Boy Named Sue

Well 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 'cos 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 have thought that it was quite a joke

And it got a lot of laughs from a lot of folks

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 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 keen

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 who gave me that awful name

Well it was Gatlinburg in mid July

And I just hit town and my throat was dry

And 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 you're gonna die

Yeah, that's what I told

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 all gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer

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

He went for his gun and I pulled mine first

He stood there looking 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 know I wouldn't be there to help you along

So I give you that name and I say goodbye

I knew you'd have to get tough or die

And it's that name that helped to make you strong

Yeah, 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 you ought to thank me before I die

For the gravel in your guts and the spit in your eye

'Cos I'm the ... that named you Sue

Yeah, what will I do?

What could I do?

I got all choked up and I threw down my gun

Called him a pa and he called me a son

And I come away with a different point of view

And I think about him now and then

Everytime I try and everytime I win

And if I ever had a son

I think I'm gonna name him

Bill or George anything but Sue

I tell you, anything, yeah
