Whipping Post Lyrics - The 1971 Fillmore East Recordings - The Allman Brothers

I've been run down and I've been lied to. 

And I don't know why, I let that mean woman make me a fool. 

She took all my money, wrecks my new car. 

Now she's with one of my good time buddies, 

They're drinkin' in some cross-town bar. 

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel, 

Like I've been tied to the whippin' post. 

Tied to the whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post. 

Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin' 

My friends tell me, that I've been such a fool. 

But I had to stand by and take it baby, all for lovin' you. 

Drown myself in sorrow as I look at what you've done. 

But nothing seemed to change, the bad times stayed the same, 

And I can't run. 

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel, 

Like I've been tied to the whippin' post. 

Tied to the whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post. 

Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'.
