Ballad Of Curtis Loew

In the style of

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Lyrics

well i used to
wake the morning
before the
rooster crowed

searchin' for
soda bottles
to get myself
some dough

brought 'em down
to the corner
down to
the country store
cash 'em in and
give my money
to a man named
curtis loew

ol' curt was
a black man with
white curly hair
when he had a
fifth of wine
he did not have a care

he used to own
an old dobro
used to play it
'cross his knee
i give ol' curt my money
he'd play
all day for me

play me a song
curtis loew
curtis loew
well i got your
drinkin' money
tune up your dobro

people said
it was useless
them people
all were fools
'cause curtis loew
was the finest picker
to ever play the blues

he looked to be sixty
and maybe i was ten
mama used to
whup me but
i'd go see him again

i'd clap my hands
stomp my feets
try to stay in time
he'd play me
a song or two
then take another
drink of wine

play me a song
curtis loew
curtis loew
well i got your
drinkin' money
tune up your dobro

people said
it was useless
them people
all were fools
'cause curtis loew
was the finest picker
to ever play the blues
yes sir

on the day
old curtis died
nobody came to pray

old preacher
said some words
and they chunked him
in the clay

well he lived
a lifetime
playin' the
black man's blues
and on the day
he lost his life
that's all
he had to lose

play me a song
curtis loew
hey curtis loew
i wish that
you was here so
everyone would know

people said
you were useless
them people
all were fools
'cause curtis you're
the finest picker
to ever play the blues
