Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

(Dolly Parton/Dorothy Jo Hope)

In this mental institution, lookin' out through these iron bars 
How could he put me in here, how could he go that far 
Yes I need help but not this kind, he didn't love me from the start 
But it's not my mind that's broken, it's my heart 
Oh Daddy come and get me and take me home with you 
I'm depending on you Daddy, there's nothing I can do 
And you said that I could come to you if I ever was in need 
But Daddy I can't come to you, you'll have to come to me 

When he said he loved another, I was crazy with jealousy 
That's 'cause I was crazy over him and I couldn't stand to set him free 
And I couldn't stand to lose him and I cried and cried for days 
And he said that I was crazy but he just put me in here to get me out of his way 
Daddy come and get me 

Oh Daddy come and get me and take me home with you 
I'm depending on you Daddy 'cause there's nothing else I can do 
And you said that I could come to you if I ever was in need 
But Daddy I can't come to you, you'll have to come to me 

Oh Daddy, come and get me
