The Ballad Of Curtis Loew
[Intro]
E D A E
[Verse]
E B
Well I used to wake the morning before the rooster crowed
E A F#7
Searching for soda bottles to get myself some dough
E B
Brought em down to the corner, down to the country store
A E
Cash em in and give my money to a man named curtis loew
E B A E
Old curt was a black man with white curly hair
E B D E
When he had a fifth of wine he did not have a care
E B A E
He used to own an old dobro, used to play it across his knee
E B D E E7
Id give old curt my money, hed play all day for me
[Chorus]
A E
Play me a song curtis loew, curtis loew
A E
I got your drinking money, tune up your dobro
A E F#7
People said he was useless, them people are the fools
E D A E
cause curtis loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues
[Bridge]
E D A E
[Verse]
E B A E
He looked to be sixty, and maybe I was ten
E B D E
Mama used to whip me but Id go see him again
E B A E
Id clap my hands, stomp my feets, try to stay in time
E B
Hed play me a song or two
D E
Then take another drink of wine.
[Chorus]
A E
Play me a song curtis loew, curtis loew
A E
I got your drinking money, tune up your dobro
A E F#7
People said he was useless, them people are the fools

cause curtis loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues
[Solo]
E B A E
E B D E
[Chorus]

Play me a song curtis loew, curtis loew

People said he was useless, them people are the fools
E D A E
cause curtis loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues
[Verse]
E B A E
On the day old curtis died, nobody came to pray
E B D E
Ol preacher said some words, and they chunked him in the clay
E B A E
But he lived a lifetime playin the black mans blues
E B D E
And on the day he lost his life, thats all he had to lose
A E
Play me a song curtis loew, hey curtis loew
A E
I wish that you was here so everyone would know
A E F#7
People said he was useless, them people all are fools
E B D E
cause curtis youre the finest picker to ever play the blues
[Outro]
