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