"And I cut off a piece of his ear" ... The tiny children in the audience must have loved that bit!

Recorded live at San Quentin State Prison in 1969, it was Johnny Cash's only top 10 single on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
"It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue."

Some of the finest lyrics ever written.........

No one tells a story like Johnny, I listened to this 1000+ times on the music centre when I was 7-8 years old, and it still makes me smile today
Apparently my lazy scrawl looks more like ‘Sue’ than it does ‘Joe’, hence a recent case of mistaken id
"Mah name is SUE! How do you DO! Now yew gonna DIE!" ^_^
