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 was 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 |
|
(Mmm mmm) |
|
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 fare |
|
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 |
|
(Mmm mmm) |
|
Please take me baby for your slave |
|
(Oh oh) |
|
And save me from that early grave" |
|
"Some people have it halfway fare |
|
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" |
