Masochist blues from the 1920s:
You've got to beat me to keep me, cause mama loves a hard boiled man
So don't you let no man cheat 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 pleasing me.
You've got to beat me to keep me, cause mama loves a hard boiled man.
Mama don't want no diamond rings and she don't want no swell clothes
Wail 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 hand or fist, Papa like I was your child.
