| 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» |
