The country song “A Boy Named Sue” was written by Shel Silverstein.

The answer is false. "A Boy Named Sue" was actually written by American songwriter and musician, Johnny Cash, not Shel Silverstein. Cash wrote the song in 1969, and it became one of his biggest hits. However, it is worth noting that Shel Silverstein was a prominent songwriter and also known for his collaborations with Cash, including the song "The Ballad of Ira Hayes."
