Cut Me Down (from Your Wipping Post)

John D. Loudermilk


When I first met you, I said I would let you do 
Anything to me that you wanted to do 
But it didn't cross my mind then you'd be so unkind 
And that you would torture me the way you do 

Cut me down, cut me down from your whipping post 
Why keep on torturing me 
Hey, cut me down, cut me down from your whipping post 
And let my poor heart go free 

I came to you with honest and true kisses 
With open arms that loved you the most 
But you stood there lying, and all the time tying 
My hands to your whipping post
