[00:09.99]Well, I used to wake the mornin' before the rooster crowed
[00:18.53]Searchin' for soda bottles to get myself some dough
[00:25.85]Brought 'em down to the corner, down to the country store
[00:33.13]Cash 'em in and give my money to a man named Curtis Loew
[00:37.93]
[00:39.73]Old Curt was a black man with white curly hair
[00:46.70]When he had a fifth of wine he did not have a care
[00:52.91]He used to own an old Dobro, used to play it across his knee
[00:59.86]I'd give old Curt my money, he'd play all day for me
[01:04.69]
[01:06.68]Play me a song Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew
[01:12.82]Well, I got your drinkin' money, tune up your Dobro
[01:19.49]People said he was useless, them people are the fools
[01:27.03]'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues
[01:32.81]
[01:40.93]He looked to be sixty and maybe I was ten
[01:47.74]Mama used to whip me but I'd go see him again
[01:54.01]I'd clap my hands, stomp my feet, try to stay in time
[02:00.71]He'd play me a song or two then take another drink of wine
[02:05.25]
[02:07.24]Play me a song Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew
[02:13.47]Well, I got your drinkin' money, tune up your Dobro
[02:20.01]People said he was useless, them people are the fools
[02:27.54]'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues
[02:34.02]Yes sir
[02:39.71]
[03:35.35]On the day old Curtis died, nobody came to pray
[03:41.85]Ol' preacher said some words and they chunked him in the glade
[03:48.45]But he lived a lifetime playin' the black man's blues
[03:55.26]And on the day he lost his life, that's all he had to lose
[04:00.68]
[04:01.66]Play me a song Curtis Loew, Hey, Curtis Loew
[04:08.33]I wish that you was here so everyone would know
[04:14.84]People said he was useless, them people all are fools
[04:21.97]'Cause Curtis you're the finest picker to ever play the blues
