Shel Silverstein – “A Boy Named Sue”

[made famous by Johnny Cash]

I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture my mother had,
I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
I looked at him and my blood ran cold
I said: “My name is ‘Sue!’ How do you do
Now you gonna die”
