A Boy Named Sue - Johnny Cash Well, my daddy left home when I _____ threeAnd he ____ ______ much to my mom and me Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze Now I don't blame him because he _____ and hid But the meanest thing that my daddy ever ______ Was before he left, he ______ and named me Sue Well, he must've thought that it _____ quite a joke And it ______ a lot of laughs from lots of folk Seems I _____ to fight my whole life through Some gal would giggle and I'd turn red And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head I tell you, life isn´t easy for a boy named Sue But I _____ up quick and I grew up mean My fist got hard and my wits _____ keener Roam from town to town to hide my shame But I ______ me a vow to the moon and stars I'd search the honky tonks and bars And kill that man that ______ me that awful name Well, it _____ Gatlinburg in mid-July And I just _____ 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 _____ the dirty, mangy dog that named me Sue Well, I ______ that snake was my own sweet dad From a worn out picture that my mother had and I ______ that scar on his cheek and his evil eye He _____ big and bent and gray and old And I _______ at him and my blood ran cold And I ______, "My name is Sue, how do you do? Now you gonna die", that's what I told him Well, I ______ him hard right between the eyes And he _______ down, but to my surprise He came up with a knife and _____ off a piece of my ear Then I busted a chair right across his teeth And we _________ through the walls and into the street Kicking and a-gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer Well, I tell you, I've fought tougher men But I really can't remember when He _______ like a mule and he bit like a crocodile I heard him laugh and then I _______ him cussing And he went for his gun but I ______ mine first He ______ 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 I _______ I wouldn't be there to help you along So I ______ you that name, and I said goodbye And I knew you'd have to get tough or die It's that name that _______ to make you strong" He said, "Now you just fought one heck 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 gut and the spit in ya eye 'Cause I'm the son of a bitch that named you Sue" What _______ I do? Well, I got all choked up and I _______ down my gun I called him my pa, and he called me his son Come 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 going to name him Bill or George or anything but Sue

There´s a little girl, in our neighborhood Her name is Charlotte Jonson and she´s really looking good I___ to go and see her, so I ___ her on the phone I ___ over her house, and this __ going on And she was swinging Yes she ___ swinging Little Charlotte she´s as pretty as the angels when they sing Just a swinging just a swinging Her brother ___ on the sofa, eating chocolate pie Her moma was in the kitchen cutting chicken up to fry Her daddy was in the back yard rolling up a garden hose I ___ on the porch with Charlotte feeling love down to my toes And we ___ swinging Yes, we were swinging Little Charlotte she´s so pretty as the angels when they sing I can´t belive I´m out here on the front porch swing Just a swinging just a swinging Now Charlotte she´s a darling she´s the apple of my eye When I´m on the swing with her it makes me almost high Now Charlotte is my best friend she has been since the spring I can´t belive it ____ on her front porch in the swing And we were swinging Yes we _____swinging Little Charlotte she´s so pretty as the angels when they sing I can´t belive I´m out here on the front yard swing Just a swinging just a swinging
