Insane Asylum Lyrics - Willie Dixon

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 

If you don't hold me in your arms (Oh child oh child) 

I'd rather be here from now on 

Some people have an 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 

Please take me baby for your slave (Oh) 

And save me from that early grave 

Some people have an 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 whole 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 we 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
