[Verse]
E B
Well I used to wake the morning before the rooster crowed
E A F#
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 A
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, he'd 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#
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 A
Mama used to whip me but Id go see him again
E B A E
I'd clap my hands, stomp my feets, try to stay in time
E B D E
Hed play me a song or two, 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#
People said he was useless, them people are the fools

[Verse]
E B A E
On the day old Curtis died, nobody came to pray
E B D A
Ol preacher said some words, and they chunked him in the clay
E B A E
But he lived a lifetime playin' the black man's blues
E B D E
And on the day he lost his life, that's all he had to lose
[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#
People said he was useless, them people are the fools
E D A E
'cause Curtis you're the finest picker to ever play the blues
