Well I uEsed to wake the mornin' bBefore the rooster crowed
ESearchin for soda bottles tAo get myself some F#dough
EBrung em down to the corner, Bdown to the country store
ACash em in and give my money to a man named CurtisE Lowe
EOl' Curt was aB black man with wAhite curly Ehair
EWhen he had a Bfifth of wine he dAid not have a Ecare
EHe used to own an old doBbro used to pAlay it 'cross his kEnee
EI'd give Ol' BCurt my money, he'd Aplay all day forE me
Chorus
APlay me a song, Curtis LEowe, hey Curtis Lowe
AI got your drinkin' money, tEune up your dobro
APeople said you was useless but them pEeople all were fF#ools
ECause Curtis Lowe was the fBinest picker to eAver play the Eblues
EHe looked to beB 60, mAaybe I was E10
EMama used to wBhoop me but I'd Ago see him agaEin
EI'd clap my hands, stBomp my feets Atryin' to stay in Etime
EHe'd play me sBong or two then Atake another drink of Ewine
Chorus
EOn the day Ol' CBurtis died noAbody came to Epray
EOld preacher sBaid some words and they chAucked him in the cElay
EHe lived a lBifetime Aplayin' the black man's bElues
EAnd on the day he loBst his life that's aAll he had to lEose
APlay me a song Curtis LEowe, hey Curtis Lowe
AI wish that you was here so eEveryone would know
APeople said you was useless but them pEeople all were fF#ools
Cause CDurtis, you're the fBinest picker to Aever play the Eblues
