	My daddy left home when I was three and he didnt leave much to ma and me just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze now i dont blame him cause he ran and hid but the meanest thing he ever did was before he left he went and named me Sue Well he must a' thought that it was quite a joke and it got a lot of laughs from a lot of folk it seems I had to fight my whole life through some gal would giggle and I'd get red and some guy would 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 Galtinburg 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 sit that 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 check and is evil eye he was big and bent and grey and old and I look 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 came up with a knife and i cut off a peice of my ear but I busted a chair right a 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 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 then I heard him cuss he went for his gun but I pulled mine first he stood there looking at me and I saw him smile And he said "Son this world his rough and if a mans gonna make it then he's got to be tough and I knew I wouldn't be there to help you along so I give you that name and I said goodbye I knew youd 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 you got that right to kill me now I wouldn't blame you but you oughta think me before I die for the gravel in your guts and that spite in your 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 diffrent point of veiw and I think about him now and then every time I try I win and if I ever have a son I think I am gonna name him Bill or George anything but sue I still hate that name
