Video de The Whipping Post

[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 he 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)
