"The Ballad Of Curtis Loew" by Lynyrd Skynyrd from their album 'Second Helping.'
And I quote:
"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 knees
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"
