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.........

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