Allman Brothers Band Whipping Post with Lyrics in Description

Description

Track 7 from their debut album released in 1969 and my favorite ABB song written by Gregg. The original Southern rock band had introduced their own blues-based sound, and played constantly, wherever they could. They were based in Macon, Georgia and were the lead act on the newly-formed Capricorn Records. This album went largely unnoticed outside of the Southern U.S. Written by Gregg Allman. Produced by Adrian Barber. Copyright 1969 Atco & Capricorn Records. RIP Duane Allman, Berry Oakley, Butch Trucks & Gregory Lenoir Allman. Featuring:

Duane Allman - Lead, slide & rhythm guitars
Gregg Allman - Lead vocals & Hammond B-3 organ
Dickey Betts - Lead & rhythm guitars
Berry Oakley - Bass & background vocals
Jai Johanny Johanson - Drums & congas
Butch Trucks - Drums & percussion

I been run down, I been lied to
And I don't know why I let that mean woman make me a fool
She took all my money, wrecked my new car
Now she's with one of my good time buddies, they're drinkin' in some crosstown bar

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel
Like I 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
And I have to stand by and take it, baby, all for lovin' you
Drown myself in sorrow as I look at what you've done
But nothin' seems to change, the bad times stay the same and I can't run

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel
Like I been tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel
Like I been tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'
