INSANE ASYLUM | |
I went out to the insane asylum | |
And I found my baby out there. | |
I said, “please, come back to me, darling, | |
What in the world are you doing here?” | |
Then my old man raised up his head, | |
Tears were streaming down from his eyes, | |
And these are the things that my old man said: | |
“When your love has ceased to be | |
There's no other place for me. | |
If you don't hold me in your arms | |
I'd rather be here from now on. | |
Some people have it half way there, | |
Without your love I ain't nowhere.” | |
“I can't eat and I can't sleep, | |
I can't even live in peace. | |
Please take me, baby, for your slave, | |
And save me from that earthly grave. | |
Some people have it half way there, | |
Without your love I ain't nowhere.” | |
Then sorrow struck my heart, | |
Tears began to stream down from my eyes. | |
The only man that I ever loved in all my life | |
Out here, in a place and a condition like this. | |
And I began thinkin' about what my mama told me when I was a little girl. | |
She told me when I couldn't help myself | |
To get down on my knees and pray. | |
And 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. | |
Oh, I don't know just how I made it, | |
But I'm so glad our love is here.” |
