Ballad of Curtis Loew Lyric Lynyrd Skynyrd ALL TIME GREATEST HITS

Well I used to wake the morning before the rooster crowed
Searching 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

Old 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 across his knee
I'd give old Curt my money, he'd play all day for
me

(Chorus)
Play me a song Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew
I got your
drinking money, tune up your dobro
People said he was useless, them people
are the 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 whip 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.

Chorus

Yes sir

On the day old Curtis died, nobody
came to pray
Ol' preacher said some words, and they chunked him in the clay

But 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
he was useless, them people all are fools
'Cause Curtis you're the finest
picker to ever play the blues
