My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me "Sue."

The best version I've ever heard is still the one on the 1969 "Live at San
Quentin Prison" [http://urlizer.com/00/1133/ (CDUniverse.com)(1990 edition)]
