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