《The Ballad Of Curtis Loew》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ballad Of Curtis Loew (科迪斯勒夫之歌) (album) - Phish

[00:00:20] Well I used to wake the morning

[00:00:26] Before the rooster crowed

[00:00:32] Searchin' for soda bottles to get myself some dough

[00:00:42] Run 'em down to the corner

[00:00:46] Down to the country store

[00:00:52] Cash 'em in and give my money to a man named Curtis Leow

[00:00:59] Old Curt was a black man with white curly hair

[00:01:06] When he had a fifth of wine he did not have a care

[00:01:12] He used to own an old Dobro

[00:01:15] Used to play it across his knees

[00:01:19] I'd give old Curt my money

[00:01:21] He'd play all day for me

[00:01:26] Play me a song Curtis Leow Curtis Leow

[00:01:32] Well I got your drinkin' money tune up your Dobro

[00:01:38] People said he was useless them people all were fools

[00:01:46] 'Cause Curtis Leow was the finest picker to ever play the blues

[00:02:00] He looked to be sixty and maybe I was ten

[00:02:06] Mama used to whup me but I'd go see him again

[00:02:12] I'd clap my hands stomp my feets try to stay in time

[00:02:19] He'd play me a song or two then take another drink of wine

[00:02:25] Play me a song Curtis Leow Curtis Leow

[00:02:32] Well I got your drinkin' money tune up your Dobro

[00:02:37] People said he was useless them people all were fools

[00:02:45] 'Cause Curtis Leow was the finest picker to ever play the blues

[00:03:51] On the day old Curtis died

[00:03:53] Nobody came to pray

[00:03:57] Ol' preacher said some words

[00:03:59] And they chunked him in the clay

[00:04:03] Well he lived a lifetime

[00:04:06] Playin' the black man's blues

[00:04:10] And on the day he lost his life

[00:04:12] That's all he had to lose

[00:04:16] Play me a song

[00:04:18] Curtis Loew Curtis Loew

[00:04:22] I am singing this song so

[00:04:25] Everyone will know

[00:04:28] People said he was useless

[00:04:31] But then people all were fools

[00:04:36] 'Cause Curtis you're the finest picker

[00:04:39] To ever play the blues
