[holiana]

does anyone know the name of a johnny cash song about a young lad playing pool with a general. the general turns out to be his dad and the game never gets finished.

It's not A Boy named Sue, in that song Sue shoots his dad or something for giving him a girls name.

I believed that song involved a game of pool, it's been a while since I heard it, I suggest you follow the link to the lyrics of a song called The Baron which does involve a game of pool and a young lad and his long lost daddy, which may be the song you're looking for, http://www.coquetshack.com/lyrics/Lyrics_B/Baron_T

It is indeed The Baron. The song is better than the film of the same name, which tells the same story... Johnny Cash - peerless singer, but... err... dodgy actor!
