Well, I used to wake the mornin' before the rooster crowed,
Searchin' for soda bottles to get myself some dough.
E BRun 'em down to the corner, down to the country store,
A ECash 'em in, and give my money to a man named Curtis Loew.
Verse:
E B A EOld Curt was a black man with white curly hair,
(E) B A EWhen 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
(E) B A EI give old Curt my money, he play all day for me.
Chorus
Play me a song, Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew,
A E E7Well, I got your drinkin' money, tune up your Dobro.
A E F#People said he 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 clap my hands, stomp my feets, try to stay in time,
He'd play 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 he was useless, them people all were fools,
'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues
