letra de the whipping post - jody reynolds
[intro]
in the colony of delaware
a long time ago
there once stood a sign saying
“stranger, beware!
beware of the whipping post!”
[verse 1]
a young man rode into this town
to seek his fortune there
he read the sign but he laughed aloud
for his heart held not a care
[verse 2]
the next sight that befell his eye
he noticed so much more
it was the mayor’s black-eyed daughter
stepping out her door
[chorus 1]
(the whipping post, the whipping post)
if you don’t keep your placе
(the whipping post, the whipping post)
you will soon embracе
[verse 3]
the way she smiled it warmed his heart
he fell in love that day
but her father found them there alone
and had this to say
[verse 4]
“the likes of you aren’t good enough
to have my daughter’s hand
leave this town before the dawn
or die a broken man”
[chorus 2]
(the whipping post, the whipping post)
was this to be his fate?
(yes, he feared the whipping post)
but he could not run away
[verse 5]
so they tied him to the post that day
before his loved one’s eye
but she ran between him and the lash
she tried to save his life
[verse 6]
her father cried to stop the whip
but he was now too late
the singing lash went through the air
and struck her lovely face
[chorus 3]
(the whipping post, the whipping post)
the evil that you do
(the whipping post, the whipping post)
you bring men to their doom
[verse 7]
upon his knees the mayor wept
“i know now i was wrong”
he took his daughter in his arms
and freed the stranger’s bonds
[verse 8]
and to this day the legend lives
so all who love will know
their love so strong that it lived on
and defied the whipping post
[outro]
(the whipping post, the whipping post)
(the whipping post, the whipping post)
(the whipping post, the whipping post)
