Lyrics for Take Out Some Insurance

If you were to leave me baby Say you won't be back That would be the end of me 'Cause I'd have a heart attack You better get some insurance on me, baby Take out some insurance on me, baby 'Cause if ya ever, ever, said goodbye I'm gonna haul right off and die Darlin' an I will I love you Long as I got breath If we part I know sweetheart It would worry me ta death You better get some insurance on me, baby Take out some insurance on me, baby But if you ever, ever said goodbye I'm gonna haul right off and die Don't get no sick, an accident 'Cause I'm healthy as can be Now if ya got any sense You'd take the hint And get a 'paid life', on me You don't know me, baby Like I know myself I couldn't live if you should give All your love ta someone else Ya better get some insurance on me, baby Take out some insurance on me, baby 'Cause if ya ever, ever say goodbye I'm gonna haul right off an die
