Insane Asylum lyrics

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"
