WHIPPIN BOY - The Quireboys

Living in a cotton town when the Yankees came around

They say you’re freedom bound, they say you’re freedom

bound

Don’t mean a thing yeah yeah yeah

Cos there’s no charity for my girl and me

There aint no one free, there aint no one free

In Dixie Land yeah yeah yeah

Whoah stand up honey child you mean so much to me

There’s no way I’m gonna be no whippin' boy

Whoah stand up honey child the truth is plain to see

There’s no way there’s no way I’m gonna be no whippin'

boy

Cos I don’t need no overseer

And I don’t need no night time tears

And I don’t need no one to tie me down

There aint no way, there aint no way I’m gonna be no

Can’t change what they keep inside oh what we keep

inside
