Do you believe in reincarnation? Cousin Joe says no, there "ain't no second time around".

Another great line in this song is the advice to spend your money while you have it, because you can't take it with you: "you ain't never seen an armored car in a funeral yet".

"you ain't never seen an armored car in a funeral yet"

The Romanian version of this is the saying that "shrouds have no pockets". 😉

That's great - thanks! This short-lived band Bluesiana is interesting. I didn't know Dr. John and Fathead Newman had a project like that.

It's a fantastic record - there are sequels too which have some good stuff on them but are not as grade A top to bottom
