Intro: D#7C#D#7D#7A#
Well, I used to wake the morninʼ before the rooster crowed,
D#7G#F
Searchinʼ for soda bottles to get myself some dough.
D#7A#
Run ʼem down to the corner, down to the country store,
G#D#7
Cash ʼem in, and give my money to a man named Curtis Loew.
D#7A#G#D#7
Old Curt was a black man with white curly hair,
D#7A#G#D#7
When he had a fifth of wine he did not have a care,
D#7A#G#D#7
He used to own an old Dobro, used to play it ʼcross his knee
D#7A#G#D#7
I give old Curt my money, he play all day for me.
Chorus:
G#D#7D#7
Play me a song, Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew,
G#D#7D#7
Well, I got your drinkinʼ money, tune up your Dobro.
G#D#7F
People said he was useless, them people all were fools,
D#7C#G#D#7D#7C#D#7
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
