1	Well I used to wake the morning before the rooster crowed						(Allen Collins, Ronnie Van Zant)	1
2	Searching for soda bottles to get myself some dough						Well, I used          to wake the mornin'	2
3	Brought 'em down to the corner, down to the country store						Before                the rooster crowed	3
4	Cash 'em in and give my money to a man named Curtis Loew						Searchin' for soda bottles	4
5							To get myself some dough	5
6	Old Curt was a black man with white curly hair						Brought 'em down to the corner	6
7	When he had a fifth of wine, he did not have a care						Down to the country store	7
8	He used to own an old Dobro, used to play across his knee						Cash 'em in, and give my money	8
9	I'd give old Curt my money, he'd play all day for me						To a man named Curtis Loew	9
10							Old Curt was a black man	10
11	Play me a song Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew						With white curly hair	11
12	Well, I got your drink and money, tune up your Dobro						When he had a fifth of wine	12
13	People said he was useless, then people are the fools						He did not have a care	13
14	'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues						He used                                 to own an old Dobro	14
15							Used to play it 'cross his knee	15
16	He looked to be sixty, and maybe I was ten						I'd give old Curt my money	16
17	Mama used to whip me, but I'd go see him again						He'd play all day for me	17
18	I'd clap my hands, stomp my feets, try to stay in time						chorus:	18
19	He'd play me a song or two, then take another drink of wine						Play       me a song	19
20							Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew	20
21	Play me a song Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew						Well, I got your drinkin' money	21
22	Well, I got your drink and money, tune up your Dobro						Tune                                         up your Dobro	22
23	People said he was useless, then people are the fools						People said he was useless	23
24	'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues						Them people all were fools	24
25	Yes sir						'Cause Curtis Loew was	25
26							the finest picker	26
27	On             the day old Curtis died, nobody came to pray						To ever play the blues	27
28	Ol' preacher said some words, and they chunked him in the glade						He looked to be sixty	28
29	But he lived a lifetime, playin' the black man's blues						And maybe I was ten	29
30	And on the day he lost his life, that's all he had to lose						Mama used                                                       to whoop me	30
31							But I'd go see him again	31
32	Play me a song Curtis Loew, hey Curtis Loew						I'd clap my hands, stomp my feet	32
33	I wish that you was here so everyone would know						Try to stay in time	33
34	People said he was useless, then people all are fools						He'd play me a song or two	34
	'Cause Curtis you're the finest picker to ever play the blues						Then take another drink of wine
