[00:00:00] The Ballad of Curtis Loew (科迪斯勒夫之歌) - Catch This Beat

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

[00:00:14] Before the rooster crowed

[00:00:17] Searchin' for soda bottles

[00:00:20] To get myself some dough

[00:00:24] Run 'em down to the corner

[00:00:27] Down to the country store

[00:00:31] Cash 'em in and give my money

[00:00:33] To a man named Curtis Leow

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

[00:00:44] When he had a fifth of wine

[00:00:47] He did not have a care

[00:00:51] He used to own an old Dobro

[00:00:54] Used to play it across his knees

[00:00:58] I'd give old Curt my money

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

[00:01:05] Play me a song Curtis Leow

[00:01:09] Curtis Leow

[00:01:11] Well I got your drinkin' money

[00:01:14] Tune up your Dobro

[00:01:18] People said he was useless

[00:01:21] Them people all were fools

[00:01:26] 'Cause Curtis Leow was the finest

[00:01:29] Picker to ever play the blues

[00:01:41] 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

[00:01:54] I'd clap my hands stomp my feets try to stay in time

[00:02:01] He'd play me a song or two then

[00:02:04] Take another drink of wine

[00:02:07] Play me a song Curtis Leow Curtis Leow

[00:02:14] Well I got your drinkin' money tune up your Dobro

[00:02:21] People said he was useless them people all were fools

[00:02:29] 'Cause Curtis Leow was the

[00:02:31] Finest picker to ever play the blues

[00:02:41] Yesssir

[00:03:39] On the day ol' Curtis died nobody came to pray

[00:03:45] Ol' preacher said some words and

[00:03:48] They chunked him in the clay

[00:03:52] Well he lived a lifetime playin' the black man's blues

[00:03:59] And on the day he lost his life that's all he had to lose

[00:04:06] Play me a song Curtis Leow hey Curtis Leow

[00:04:12] I wish that you was here so everyone would know

[00:04:19] People said you were useless them people all are fools

[00:04:27] 'Cause Curtis you're the finest picker to ever play the blues

[00:04:39] Mmmmm
