[00:00:00] The Ballad Of Curtis Loew (科迪斯勒夫之歌) - Lynyrd Skynyrd (林纳·史金纳)

[00:00:09] Well I used to wake the mornin' before the rooster crowed

[00:00:18] Searchin' for soda bottles to get myself some dough

[00:00:25] Run 'em down to the corner down to the country store

[00:00:32] Cash 'em in and give my money to a man named Curtis Leow

[00:00:38] Old Curt was a black man with white curly hair

[00:00:46] When he had a fifth of wine he did not have a care

[00:00:52] He used to own an old Dobro used to play it across his knees

[00:00:59] I'd give old Curt my money he'd play all day for me

[00:01:06] Play me a song Curtis Leow Curtis Leow

[00:01:12] Well I got your drinkin' money tune up your Dobro

[00:01:17] People said he was useless them people all were fools

[00:01:26] 'Cause Curtis Leow was the finest picker to ever play the blues

[00:01:40] He looked to be sixty and maybe I was ten

[00:01:47] Mama used to whup me but I'd go see him again

[00:01:53] I'd clap my hands stomp my feets try to stay in time

[00:02:00] He'd play me a song or two then take another drink of wine

[00:02:06] Play me a song Curtis Leow Curtis Leow

[00:02:13] Well I got your drinkin' money tune up your Dobro

[00:02:19] People said he was useless them people all were fools

[00:02:27] 'Cause Curtis Leow was the finest picker to ever play the blues

[00:02:34] Yesssir

[00:03:35] On the day ol' Curtis died nobody came to pray

[00:03:41] Ol' preacher said some words and they chunked him in the clay

[00:03:48] Well he lived a lifetime playin' the black man's blues

[00:03:54] And on the day he lost his life that's all he had to lose

[00:04:01] Play me a song Curtis Leow hey Curtis Leow

[00:04:07] I wish that you was here so everyone would know

[00:04:14] People said you were useless them people all are fools

[00:04:21] 'Cause Curtis you're the finest picker to ever play the blues

[00:04:35] Mmmmm
