Well, I Eused to wake the mornin' Bbefore the rooster crowed,
ESearchin' for soda bottles to Aget myself some Fdough.
ERun 'em down to the corner, Bdown to the country Estore,
ACash 'em in, and give my money to a man named Curtis ELoew.

He looked to be sixty, and maybe I was ten,
Mama used to whoop me, but I'd go see him again.
I clap my hands, stomp my feet, try to stay in time,
He'd play a song or two, then take another drink of wine.
(Chorus)
(Solo)
On the day ol Curtis died, no body came to pray,
the old preecher said some words, and they chucked him into clay,
he lived a lifetime, playin the blackmans blues,
on the day he lost his life, thats all he had 2 lose.
(chorus)
