[Verse 1]
I know a gal, peculiar gal
Her name is Susie Ann
She raises sand to beat the band
To aggravate her man
She totes knives and pistols
Just to keep in trim
And when her man ain't knockin' her down
This is what she says to him

[Chorus]
You've got to beat me to keep me
'Cause mama loves a hard-boiled man
Won't stand to let no man [cheat/sheik?] me
If he's got a good right hand
Beat me up for breakfast, knock me down for tea
Black my eye for supper, then you're pleasin' me
You've got to beat me to keep me
'Cause mama loves a hard-boiled man

[Verse 2]
Mama don't want no diamond rings
And she don't want no swell clothes
[?] me, daddy, 'til it stings
Across my mouth and nose
I don't want no hug and kiss
I don't want no love and smile
Beat me with your tender fist
Papa, like I was your child
