The Ballad of Curtis Loew
Allen Collins, Ronnie Van Zant
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'd give old Curt my money
He'd play all day for me
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
He looked to be sixty
And maybe I was ten
Mama used to whoop me
But I'd go see him again
I'd clap my hands, stomp my feet
Try to stay in time
He'd play me 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 to pray
Ol' preacher said some words
And they chunked him in the clay
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, hey Curtis Loew
I wish that you was here so
Everyone would know
People said he was useless
Them people all were fools
'Cause Curtis you're the finest picker
To ever play the blues
Well, I used to wake the mornin'
Bueno, solía despertar por la mañana
Before the rooster crowed
Antes de que el gallo cantara
Searchin' for soda bottles
Buscando botellas de soda
To get myself some dough
Para conseguir algo de dinero
Run 'em down to the corner
Las llevaba corriendo a la esquina
Down to the country store
Hasta la tienda del campo
Cash 'em in, and give my money
Las canjeaba, y daba mi dinero
To a man named Curtis Loew
A un hombre llamado Curtis Loew
Old Curt was a black man
El viejo Curt era un hombre negro
With white curly hair
Con cabello blanco y rizado
When he had a fifth of wine
Cuando tenía una quinta parte de vino
He did not have a care
No le importaba nada
He used to own an old Dobro
Solía tener un viejo Dobro
Used to play it 'cross his knee
Solía tocarlo en su rodilla
I'd give old Curt my money
Le daba mi dinero al viejo Curt
He'd play all day for me
Él tocaría todo el día para mí
Play me a song
Tócame una canción
Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew
Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew
Well, I got your drinkin' money
Bueno, tengo tu dinero para beber
Tune up your Dobro
Afinar tu Dobro
People said he was useless
La gente decía que era inútil
Them people all were fools
Esas personas eran todas tontas
'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker
Porque Curtis Loew era el mejor guitarrista
To ever play the blues
Que jamás tocó el blues
He looked to be sixty
Parecía tener sesenta
And maybe I was ten
Y quizás yo tenía diez
Mama used to whoop me
Mamá solía pegarme
But I'd go see him again
Pero yo volvería a verlo
I'd clap my hands, stomp my feet
Aplaudiría con las manos, golpearía con los pies
Try to stay in time
Intentaría mantener el ritmo
He'd play me a song or two
Él me tocaría una canción o dos
Then take another drink of wine
Luego tomaría otro trago de vino
Play me a song
Tócame una canción
Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew
Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew
Well, I got your drinkin' money
Bueno, tengo tu dinero para beber

Y lo arrojaron a la arcilla
Well, he lived a lifetime
Bueno, vivió toda una vida
Playin' the black man's blues
Tocando el blues del hombre negro
And on the day he lost his life
Y el día que perdió la vida
That's all he had to lose
Eso es todo lo que tenía que perder
Play me a song
