The Ballad Of Curtis Loew(Performed By Moe & John Hiatt) - Lynyrd Skynyrd[00:00:05]
Well I used to wake the morning before the rooster crowed[00:00:12]
Searching for soda bottles to get myself some dough[00:00:20]
Brought 'em down to the corner,down to the country store[00:00:27]
Cash 'em in and give my money to a man named Curtis Loew[00:00:33]
Old Curt was a black man with white curly hair[00:00:42]
When he had a fifth of wine he did not have a care[00:00:48]
He used to own an old dobro,used to play it across his knees[00:00:55]
I'd give old Curt my money,he'd play all day for me[00:01:01]
Play me a song Curtis Loew,Curtis Loew[00:01:08]
I got your drinking money,tune up your dobro[00:01:15]
People said he was useless,them people are the fools[00:01:21]
'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues[00:01:29]
He looked to be sixty,and maybe I was ten[00:01:44]
Mama used to whip me but I'd go see him again[00:01:50]
I'd clap my hands, stomp my feets, try to stay in time[00:01:58]
He'd play me a song or two then take another drink of wine.[00:02:04]
Play me a song Curtis Loew,Curtis Loew[00:02:10]
I got your drinking money,tune up your dobro[00:02:16]
People said he was useless,them people are the fools[00:02:23]
'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues[00:02:31]
On the day old Curtis died,nobody came to pray[00:03:43]
Ol' preacher said some words,and they chunked him in the glade[00:03:46]
But he lived a lifetime playin'the black man's blues[00:03:52]
And on the day he lost his life,that's all he had to lose[00:03:59]
Play me a song Curtis Loew,Hey Curtis Loew[00:04:06]
I wish that you was here so everyone would know[00:04:12]
People said he was useless,them people all are fools[00:04:19]
'Cause Curtis you're the finest picker to ever play the blue[00:04:26]
