Thanks. I often think about the lyrics of this song and I'm still wondering if RJ intended this as a serious song or tongue-in-cheek humour. As the years go by, I'm favouring the latter. I'd be glad to know what others think....

wow the voice is deep didnt expect that but great playing great song RIP or not ROBERT if u really did die at ur age

[BobLongBlues]

@MRCALIfornyay Thanks for your generous comment! Yes, we know for sure that RJ died in 1938. His friend, Honeyboy Edwards, who is still alive and lucid, was there at the time.

[BobLongBlues]

@MRCALIfornyay Yes, he's about 94 and still working. I saw him in Mississippi a few months back
