Insane Asylum

I went out

To the insane asylum

And I found my baby out there

I said, "please, come back to me darlin'"

"What in the world are you doin' here?"

Then the little girl raised up her head

Tears were streamin' down from her eyes

And these are the things

That the little girl said

"When your love has ceased to be

Lord, have mercy

"There's no other place for me"

If you don't hold me in your arms

Oh child, oh child

I'd rather be here from now on

Some people have it halfway fair

Without your love, I ain't nowhere

Oh, I can't eat and I can't sleep

Oh child, oh child

Lord, I can't even live in peace

Please take me, baby, for your slave

Oh

And save me from that early grave

Some people have it halfway fair

Without your love, I ain't nowhere

And then sorrow struck my heart

Tears began to stream down from my eyes

The only woman that I ever loved in all my life

Out here in a place in a condition like this

And I began to thinkin' about what my mama told me when I was a little boy

She told me when I couldn't help myself

To get down on my knees and pray

Then I fell down on my knees

And these are the words that I said

"Save me, save me, save me, babe"

"Save me, save me, save me, dear"

Whoa, I don't know just how I made it

But I'm so glad our love is here

But I'm so glad our love is here

But I'm so glad our love is here
