A
Well, my daddy left home when I was three
D
and he didn't leave much for ma and me,
EA
just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze
Now, I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid,
D
but the meanest thing that he ever did
EA
was before he left, he went and named me Sue
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A
Well, he must have thought that it was quite a joke,
D
and it got a lot of laughs from a lots of folks
EA
It seems I had to fight my whole life through,
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red,
D
some guy would laugh and I'd bust his head,
EA
I tell you, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean
D
my fist got hard and my wits got keen
EA
Roamed from town to town to hide my shame,
but I made me a vow to the moon and stars,
D
I'd search the honky-tonks and bars,
EA
and kill that man that gave me that awful name
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid July,
D
and I had just hit town and my throat was dry
EA
I'd thought I'd stop by and have myself a brew
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
Ken je een betere of completere versie? Stuur 'm in
and I said, "My name is Sue. How do you do ?
Now you gonna die." Yeah, that's what I told him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
kickin' and a gougin' in the mud and the blood and the beer
