I first heard this song by Kathi and Sly.
Willie wrote it. I love both versions.
Insane Asylum
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
