Cash recorded the song live in concert on February 24, 1969, at California's <a href="/wiki/San_Quentin_State_Prison" class="mw-redirect" title="San Quentin State Prison">San Quentin State Prison</a> for his <i><a href="/wiki/At_San_Quentin" title="At San Quentin">At San Quentin</a></i> album. Cash also performed the song (with comical variations on the original performance) in December 1969 at Madison Square Garden. The live San Quentin version of the song became Cash's biggest hit on the <a href="/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100" title="Billboard Hot 100"><i>Billboard</i> Hot 100</a> chart and his only top ten single there, spending three weeks at No. 2 in 1969, held out of the top spot by "<a href="/wiki/Honky_Tonk_Women" title="Honky Tonk Women">Honky Tonk Women</a>" by <a href="/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones" title="The Rolling Stones">The Rolling Stones</a>. The track also topped the <i>Billboard</i> <a href="/wiki/Hot_Country_Songs" title="Hot Country Songs">Hot Country Songs</a> and <a href="/wiki/Easy_Listening" class="mw-redirect" title="Easy Listening">Easy Listening</a> charts that same year and was certified Gold on August 14, 1969, by the <a href="/wiki/Recording_Industry_Association_of_America" title="Recording Industry Association of America">RIAA</a>. </p><p>Silverstein's recording was released the same year as "Boy Named Sue", a single on the album <i>Boy Named Sue (and His Other Country Songs)</i>, produced by <a href="/wiki/Chet_Atkins" title="Chet Atkins">Chet Atkins</a> and <a href="/wiki/Felton_Jarvis" title="Felton Jarvis">Felton Jarvis</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Content">Content</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=A_Boy_Named_Sue&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Content"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The song tells the tale of a young man's quest for revenge on a father who abandoned him at three years of age and whose only contribution to his entire life was giving him a <a href="/wiki/Guitar" title="Guitar">guitar</a> and naming him <a href="/wiki/Sue_(name)" title="Sue (name)">Sue</a>, commonly a feminine name, which results in the young man suffering from ridicule and harassment by everyone he meets. Ashamed of his name, he becomes a hard-hearted <a href="/wiki/Nomad" title="Nomad">nomad</a> as a young man; he swears that he will find and kill his father for giving him "that awful name". </p><p>Sue later locates his father at a tavern one summer day in <a href="/wiki/Gatlinburg,_Tennessee" title="Gatlinburg, Tennessee">Gatlinburg, Tennessee</a>, and after recognizing him by the scar on his cheek and his <a href="/wiki/Evil_eye" title="Evil eye">evil eye</a> confronts him by saying, "My name is Sue! How do you do? Now you're gonna die!" This results in a vicious brawl that spills outdoors into a muddy street. As the two pull their guns on each other, Sue's father smiles with pride and admits that he is the man ("son of a bitch" in the Johnny Cash version) that named him Sue. Because Sue's father knew that he would not be there for his son, he gave him the name as an act of <a href="/wiki/Tough_love" title="Tough love">tough love</a>, believing (correctly) that the ensuing ridicule would force him to "get tough or die". Learning this, Sue makes peace and reconciles with his father. Sue closes the song conceding his father's point of view, but that if he ever has a son, he will name the boy "Bill, or George, any damn thing but Sue" because he "still hate(s) that name." </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Structure">Structure</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=A_Boy_Named_Sue&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Structure"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The song has an unusual AABCCB <a href="/wiki/Rhyme_scheme" title="Rhyme scheme">rhyme scheme</a>, broken only to mark the midpoint and end.

Both the edited and unedited versions are available on various albums and compilations. The term "son of a bitch" was edited to "son of a gun" or altogether bleeped out in some versions.

It was included in that concert to try it out—he did not know the words, and he can be seen regularly referring to a piece of paper on the filmed recording. Cash was surprised at how well the song went over with the audience.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The rough, spontaneous performance with sparse accompaniment was included in the <i>Johnny Cash At San Quentin</i> album, ultimately becoming one of Cash's biggest hits. According to Cash biographer Robert Hilburn, neither the British TV crew filming the concert nor his band knew he planned to perform the song; he used a lyric sheet on stage while Perkins and the band improvised the backing on the spot. While another song, "San Quentin", was expected to be the significant new song featured in the concert and subsequent album (so much so the album includes two performances of "San Quentin"), "A Boy Named Sue" ended up being the concert's major find.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Cash also performed it on <a href="/wiki/The_Johnny_Cash_Show_(TV_series)" class="mw-redirect" title="The Johnny Cash Show (TV series)">his musical variety show</a>, ending the song with the line, "And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him... <a href="/wiki/John_Carter_Cash" title="John Carter Cash">John Carter Cash</a>", referring to his newborn son. Cash also performed this variant at the White House in April 1970; in later years, however, he would restore the original "any name but Sue" ending, but change the wording to "if I ever have another son". When Cash performed with <a href="/wiki/The_Highwaymen_(country_supergroup)" title="The Highwaymen (country supergroup)">The Highwaymen</a> in the 1980s and 1990s, he would end the song by saying, "if I ever have another boy, I think I'm gonna name him Waylon, or Willie, or Kris." referring to bandmates <a href="/wiki/Waylon_Jennings" title="Waylon Jennings">Waylon Jennings</a>, <a href="/wiki/Willie_Nelson" title="Willie Nelson">Willie Nelson</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Kris_Kristofferson" title="Kris Kristofferson">Kris Kristofferson</a>. </p><p>According to Shel Silverstein's biographer Mitch Myers, <a href="/wiki/June_Carter_Cash" title="June Carter Cash">June Carter Cash</a> encouraged her husband to perform the song.
