[Verse]
D A
Well I used to wake the mornin' before the rooster crowed
D G E
Searchin for soda bottles to get myself some dough
D A
Brung em down to the corner, down to the country store
G D
Cash em in and give my money to a man named Curtis Lowe
D A G D
Ol' Curt was a black man with white curly hair
D A G D
When he had a fifth of wine he did not have a care
D A G D
He used to own an old dobro used to play it 'cross his knee
D A G D
I'd give Ol' Curt my money, he'd play all day for me
[Chorus]
G D
Play me a song, Curtis Lowe, hey Curtis Lowe
G D
I got your drinkin' money, tune up your dobro
G D E
People said you was useless but them people all were fools
D A G D
Cause Curtis Lowe was the finest picker to ever play the blues
[Verse]
D A G D
He looked to be 60, maybe I was 10
D A G D
Mama used to whoop me but I'd go see him again
D A G D
I'd clap my hands, stomp my feets tryin' to stay in time
D A G D
He'd play me song or two then take another drink of wine
[Chorus]
G D
Play me a song, Curtis Lowe, hey Curtis Lowe
G D
I got your drinkin' money, tune up your dobro
G D E
People said you was useless but them people all were fools
D A G D
Cause Curtis Lowe was the finest picker to ever play the blues
[Verse]
D A G D
On the day Ol' Curtis died nobody came to pray
D A G D
Old preacher said some words and they chucked him in the clay
D A G D
He lived a lifetime playin' the black man's blues
D A G D
And on the day he lost his life that's all he had to lose
[Chorus]
G D
Play me a song Curtis Lowe, hey Curtis Lowe
G D
I wish that you was here so everyone would know
G D E
People said you was useless but them people all were fools
D A G D
Cause Curtis, you're the finest picker to ever play the blues
