Karaoke Track: Ballad Of Curtis Loe by Lynyrd Skynyrd (Sweet Georgia Brown) - Karaoke Nerds

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 Loew

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
cross his knee

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

Play me a song Curtis Loew
Curtis Lowe

Well I got your drinkin'
money tune up your Dobro

People said he was useless
them people all were fools

'Cause Curtis Loew 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

He looked to be sixty and
maybe I was ten
Mama used to whup me
but I'd go see him again

I clap my hands stomp my
feats, try to stay in time

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

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 Loew was the
finest picker to ever
play the blues, yes sir

On the day Old Curtis died
nobody came and prayed
Ol' Preacher said some
words and they chunked
him in the grave

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

Play me a song Curtis Loew
Curtis Loew

I wish that you was here so
everyone would know

People said he was useless
them people all were fools
Play me a song Curtis Loew
Curtis Loew
I wish that you was here so
everyone would know

People said he was useless
them people all were fools

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