'Queen of Blues' Koko Taylor dies

http://www.kokotaylor.com/news.html

I don't like blues music much, basically I find many of their lyric gross. Or maybe it is because I come from a middle class background so I cannot really appreciate them well. All these years, I bought a few CDs on blues music, one of them is a compilation which feature this powerful track " Insane Asylum" by this great lady and Willie Dixon. Both artistes are truly heavenly kings and queens of the blues music. I like it very much and fascinated by her kind of singing. But later I went to venture into her other CDs and found that I still can't dig the blues. But I feel something lost with her passing:-

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

(sung:)
When your love has ceased to be (Lord, have mercy)
There's no other place for me (Mmmm)
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 (Mmmm)
Please take me baby for your slave (Oooh)
And save me from that early grave
Some people have an halfway fare
Without your love I ain't nowhere

(Dixon, sp.:)
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

(sung, both)
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...
