Mary the Boxer
Mary was a boxer
Who set out to beat the world
Grew up in South Georgia
She used to beat up all the girls
She says no, no
You're not gonna win
I've never been beat before
And then there was Gracie the Great
She wore a couple scars
Her daddy gave her
When he got home from the bars
She says no, no
You're not gonna win
I'm not giving in anymore
The bets were on Gracie the Great
The leader of ring
She had a hook that send ya flying
And crying out for days
She says no, no
You're not gonna win
I'm not giving in anymore
Well it was the greatest fight
Since Frazier and Ali
And they were dancing slow motion
It was a beautiful commotion
They were hitting like hammers
And dropping like trees
The priest beat the medics
Said hey Mary you alright?
Throw in the towel
You made us real proud tonight
She says, No Father
I know when I've been beat
And I still have another round left in me
So lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up
You don't know me
I've been through this
You cant own me
You're not worth it
You don't know me
I've been through this
You cant own me
You're not worth it
You don't know me
I've been through this
You cant own me
You're not worth it
Who set out to beat the world
Grew up in South Georgia
She used to beat up all the girls
She says no, no
You're not gonna win
I've never been beat before
And then there was Gracie the Great
She wore a couple scars
Her daddy gave her
When he got home from the bars
She says no, no
You're not gonna win
I'm not giving in anymore
The bets were on Gracie the Great
The leader of ring
She had a hook that send ya flying
And crying out for days
She says no, no
You're not gonna win
I'm not giving in anymore
Well it was the greatest fight
Since Frazier and Ali
And they were dancing slow motion
It was a beautiful commotion
They were hitting like hammers
And dropping like trees
The priest beat the medics
Said hey Mary you alright?
Throw in the towel
You made us real proud tonight
She says, No Father
I know when I've been beat
And I still have another round left in me
So lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up
You don't know me
I've been through this
You cant own me
You're not worth it
You don't know me
I've been through this
You cant own me
You're not worth it
You don't know me
I've been through this
You cant own me
You're not worth it
