Arbeitsblatt: Johnny Cash - A boy named Sue

A Boy Named Sue Johnny Cash My daddy left home when was three And he didnt leave much to ma and me Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze. Now, dont blame him cause he run and hid But the meanest thing that he ever did Was before he left, he went and named me Sue. Well, he must o thought that is quite joke And it got lot of laughs from a lots of folk, It seems had to fight my whole life through. Some gal would giggle and Id get red And some guyd laugh and Id bust his head, tell ya, life aint easy for boy named Sue. Well, grew up quick and grew up mean, My fist got hard and my wits got keen, Id roam from town to town to hide my shame. But made vow to the moon and stars That Id search the honkytonks and bars And kill that man who gave me that awful name. Well, it was Gatlinburg in midJuly And just hit town and my throat was dry, thought Id stop and have myself brew. At an old saloon on street of mud, There at table, dealing stud, Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me Sue. Well, knew that snake was my own sweet dad From wornout picture that my motherd had, And knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye. He was big and bent and gray and old, And looked at him and my blood ran cold And said: My name is Sue! How do you do! Now your gonna die!! Well, hit him hard right between the eyes And he went down, but to my surprise, He come up with knife and cut off piece of my ear. But busted chair right across his teeth And we crashed through the wall and into the street 1 Kicking and a gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer. tell ya, Ive fought tougher men But really cant remember when, He kicked like mule and he bit like crocodile. heard him laugh and then heard him cuss, He went for his gun and pulled mine first, He stood there lookin at me and saw him smile. And he said: Son, this world is rough And if man gonna make it, he gotta be tough And knew wouldnt be there to help ya along. So give ya that name and said goodbye knew youd have to get tough or die And it the name that helped to make you strong. He said: Now you just fought one hell of fight And know you hate me, and you got the right To kill me now, and wouldnt blame you if you do. But ya ought to thank me, before die, For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye Cause Im the sonofabitch that named you Sue.\ got all choked up and threw down my gun And called him my pa, and he called me his son, And came away with different point of view. And think about him, now and then, Every time try and every time win, And if ever have son, think Im gonna name him Bill or George! Anything but Sue! still hate that name! 2 Arbeitsplanung: 1.
