Sioux Named Boy [Explicit] Songtext
von Roger Alan Wade

Well my daddy left home when I was thirty-three
And he didn′t eat as much as mama and me
And he was the only Indian on the reservation named Roy

He'd watch them Tarzan video tapes
And sit there and get drunk as I ate
And before he left he went and named me Boy

And mama said he said I wasn′t his
And what he said I was I can't say I guess
But I reckon I ain't no Iroquois

All I know is before they got a divorce
He said something about crazy whores
And life ain′t easy for a Sioux named Boy

Well I thought I was an unfortunate lad
But then I grew up and I saw they had
A room named after where people peed
And all them people they came and went
And me I never made a cent
So I got to looking for what was coming to me


And it was Bakersfield in mid-October
And it′d been a while since I'd been sober
And I hit the Palace in my blue corduroys

And out there dancing in his cowboy boots
Just dancing like a cheetah to the buckaroos
Was that egg-sucking Sioux that named me Boy

Well I went up and grabbed him by the collar
And he said, "Boy, give me a dollar
And why don′t you get me and Jane a beer?"
Well about that time old Jane passed out
And dad went staggering through the crowd
And I caught up with him and he said, "Let's get out of here"

Well we wound up splitting a patty melt
And I told him just the way I felt
And he just looked at me and took another bite
I said, "What′s wrong?" He said, "I'm full"
I said, "Why didn′t you name me Sitting Bull?"
And he said, "Boy, give me a light"


He said, "Boy, there ain't no doubt
After the way that you turned out
If I ever have another son
I'll name him Sweet Potato or Two Nuts
Or anything but Boy
We gotta work it out"
