Shel Silverstein - A Boy Named Sue

[IanKWatts]

Great song - I even like the follow up version he also wrote for the song

[fiddude1]

sounds like Charlie Daniels - Uneasy Rider

[gnasher52]

Shel Silverstein - look him up - genius - cartoonist - author - collaborator - song writer - and the best stuff i ever heard when i was 17.

[omniralph]

[TheMossbergs]

Kickin' and a gougin' in the mud an the blud an the beeer!! :D

[Seattlecarnut]

Awesome song!

[jfalconi3]

hahaha i like cash's version, but this one just takes the cake. he really acts the speaker's voice. its funny and it has a good message. well, not really a good message. but an interesting concept to the reason why the speaker was named sue. Shel Silverstein is amazing

[supermanky]

This is the original, pre-Cash version of the song! Amazing.

[EyetraX]

this is just amazing, on its own way the best version.

Can't be compared to Cash's version.. they are so different.. but i really loved this

[adamtzsch]

He went and named me 'Shel'!

[scrivchen]

one of a few songs Shel wrote that Cash recorded. I like this!

[toastnotghosts]

Shel is a bit special

[SirCoughsalot]

He sings like a crazed version of the young Bob Dylan. I dig it.

If you compare the lyrics to the Johnny Cash edition, you'll realize that there's a helluva lotta differences between the two.

@JupiterIV hehe especially since he wrote the lyrics for this song for J,Cash.
