Lynyrd Skynyrd - The Ballad Of Curtis Loew download song

Song Lyrics

Old curt was a black man, well he lived a lifetime, and maybe i was ten
Play me a song, try to stay in time
People said he was useless, that s all he had to lose
And they chucked him in the clay, he looked to be sixty
Nobody came to pray, old curt was a black man

When he had a fifth of wine, people said he was useless
brought em down to the corner
And they chucked him in the clay, tune up your dobro, people said he was useless
ol preacher said some words
Down to the country store, he d play me a song or two

when he had a fifth of wine
hey curtis loew
Play me a song, i wish that you was here
well i got your drinkin money
them people all are fools

Play me a song, then take another drink of wine Of, people said he was useless
Down to the country store, he did not have a care
then take another drink of wine
Playin the black man s blues, used to play it across his knee
play me a song

Ol preacher said some words, but i d go see him again
Them people all were fools, ol preacher said some words, try to stay in time
When he had a fifth of wine, then take another drink of wine
people said he was useless
When he had a fifth of wine, and maybe i was ten, cause curtis loew was the finest picker

Them people all were fools, cash em in and give my money Ballad, people said he was useless
Them people all are fools, play me a song, play me a song
Well he lived a lifetime, mama used to whoop me
Down to the country store, mama used to whoop me
Then take another drink of wine, playin the black man s blues, tune up your dobro

cause curtis loew was the finest picker
Them people all were fools, and maybe i was ten, nobody came to pray
People said he was useless, them people all were fools
cash em in and give my money
To ever play the blues, cause curtis loew was the finest picker Ballad, cause curtis loew was the finest picker

I d give old curt my money, people said he was useless Ballad, nobody came to pray
well i used to wake the mornin
Them people all were fools, i wish that you was here
when he had a fifth of wine
he used to own an old dobro

on the day old curtis died
play me a song
