Lyrics The Ballad of Curtis Lowe (Live 1988 FM Broadcast) - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Well
I
used
to
wake
the
mornin
Befor
the
rooster
crowed
Searchin
for
soda
bottles
to
get
myself
some
dough
Brought
'em
down
to
the
corner
Down
to
the
country
store
Cash
'em
in
and
give
my
money
to
a
man
named
Curtis
Lowe
Old
Curt
was
a
black
man
with
white
curly
hair
When
he
had
a
fifth
of
wine
he
did
not
have
a
care
He
used
to
own
an
old
dobro
used
to
play
across
his
knee
I'd
give
old
Curt
my
money
he
play
all
day
for
me
(Chours)
Play
me
a
song
Curtis
Loew,
Curtis
Loew
Well
I
got
your
drinkin'
money
tune
up
your
dobro
People
said
he
was
useless
them
people
all
were
fools
'Cause
Curtis
Lowe
was
the
finest
picker
to
ever
play
the
blues
Well
he
looked
to
be
60,
maybe
I
was
10
Momma
used
to
whoop
me
But
I'd
go
see
him
again
I'd
clap
my
hands,
stomp
my
feets
tryin
to
stay
in
time
Well
he'd
play
me
a
song
or
two
then
take
another
drink
of
wine
(Chours)
Play
me
a
song
Curtis
Loew,
Curtis
Loew
Well
I
got
your
drinkin
money
tune
up
your
dobro
People
said
he
was
useless
but
them
people
all
were
fools
'Cause
Curtis
Lowe
was
the
finest
picker
to
ever
play
the
blues
On
the
day
old
Curtis
died
nobody
came
to
pray
Old
preacher
said
some
words
And
they
chucked
him
in
the
clay
Well
he
lived
a
lifetime
playin'
the
black
man's
blues
And
on
the
day
he
lost
his
life
that's
all
he
had
to
lose
(Chours)
Play
me
a
song
Curtis
Loew,
yeah
Curtis
Loew
I
wish
that
you
was
here
so
everyone
would
know
People
said
you
was
useless
but
them
people
all
were
fools
Cuz
Curtis
your
the
finest
picker
to
ever
play
the
blues
