The Allman Brothers Band - Whipping Post, Recorded Live: Sept. 23, 1970 - Fillmore East - New York, NY, Official.
Written by Gregg Allman in 1969.
~ Lyrics
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 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 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'.

Jamal rocks to 'Whipping Post.' These new online video reactions by younger people are wild.

It's a shame no videos were taken of the Fillmore East shows.

(41,113 posts)5. True, esp. the lack of Fillmore concert videos.
The dates used by some sources conflict, esp. for 70 or 71; 71 or 72.
