G
1. My daddy left home when I was three
C
And he didn't leave much to my Ma and me
D D7 G - D
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
G
Now, I don't blame him ‘cause he run and hid
C
But the meanest thing that he ever did
D D7 G - D
Was before he left, he went and named me "Sue".
G
2. Well, he must have thought that it was quite a joke
C
And it got a lot of laughs from a lot of folks,
D D7 G - D
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
G
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
C
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
D D7 G
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue".
G
3. Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
C
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
D D7 G - D
Roamed from town to town to hide my shame.
G
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
C
I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
D D7 G - D
And kill that man that give me that awful name.
G
4. Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
C
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
D D7 G - D
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
G
At an old saloon and a street of mud,
C
And at a table dealing stud
D D7 G - D
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Sue".
G
5. Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
C
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
D D7 G - D
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
G
He was big and bent and gray and old,
C
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
D
And I said: "My name is Sue! How do you do?
G
And now you’re gonna die!!"
G
6. Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
C
And he went down, but to my surprise,
D D7 G - D
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
G
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
C
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
D D7 G - D
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.
G
7. I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
C
But I really can't remember when,
D D7 G - D
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
G
I heard him laughin' then I heard him cussin'
C
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
D D7 G - D
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.
G
8. And he said: "Son, this world is rough
C
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
D D7 G - D
And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
G
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
C
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
D D7 G - D
And it's the name that helped to make you strong."
G
9. He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
C
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
D D7 G - D
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
G
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
C
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
D D7 G - D
Cause I'm the fucking bastard that named you Sue."
G
10. I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
C
And I called him my Pa, and he called me his son,
D D7 G - D
And I come away with a different point of view.
G
And I think about him, now and then,
C
Every time I tried, every time I win,
D (hold)
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
G (hold)
Bill or George! Anything but Sue!
I still hate that name!
