Intro: F7D#F7F7C
Well, I used to wake the morninʼ before the rooster crowed,
F7A#G
Searchinʼ for soda bottles to get myself some dough.
F7C
Run ʼem down to the corner, down to the country store,
A#F7
Cash ʼem in, and give my money to a man named Curtis Loew.
F7CA#F7
Old Curt was a black man with white curly hair,
F7CA#F7
When he had a fifth of wine he did not have a care,
F7CA#F7
He used to own an old Dobro, used to play it ʼcross his knee
F7CA#F7
I give old Curt my money, he play all day for me.
Chorus:
A#F7F7
Play me a song, Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew,
A#F7F7
Well, I got your drinkinʼ money, tune up your Dobro.
A#F7G
People said he was useless, them people all were fools,
F7D#A#F7F7D#F7
ʼCause 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 Iʼd go see him again.
I clap my hands, stomp my feets, try to stay in time,
Heʼd play a song or two, then take another drink of wine.
Play me a song, Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew,
Well, I got your drinkinʼ money, tune up your Dobro.
People said he was useless, them people all were fools,
ʼCause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues
