The Ballad Of Curtis Loew (2003 - Live At Amsouth Amphitheatre, TN)歌词

作词 : Collins, VanZant
作曲 : Ronnie Van Zant/Allen Collins
Well I used to wake the mornin’ … before the rooster crowed
Searchin’ for soda bottles to get myself some dough

Run 'em down to the corner … down to the country store

Cash 'em in and give my money to a man named Curtis Leow

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 it across his knees

I'd give old Curt my money … he'd play all day for me

Play me a song Curtis Leow … Curtis Leow

Well I got your drinkin' money … tune up your Dobro

People said he was useless … them people all were fools

'Cause Curtis Leow was the finest picker to ever play the blues

He looked to be sixty … and maybe I was ten

Mama used to whup me but I'd go see him again

I'd clap my hands, stomp my feets, try to stay in time

He'd play me a song or two then take another drink of wine

Play me a song Curtis Leow … Curtis Leow

Well I got your drinkin' money … tune up your Dobro

People said he was useless … them people all were fools

'Cause Curtis Leow was the finest picker to ever play the blues
