Trombone Cholly

Lyrics

I know a fool that blows the horn
 He came from way down south
 I ain't heard such blowin' since I was born
 When that trombone's in his mouth
 He wails and moans
 He grunts and groans
 He moans just like a cow
 Nobody else can do his stuff
 For he won't teach them how
 Oh Cholly, blow that thing
 That slide trombone
 Make it talk, make it sing
 Lawdy, where did you get that tone?
 If Gabriel knows how you could blow
 He'll let you lead his band, I know
 Oh Cholly, blow that thing
 Play that slide trombone
 Oh Cholly, do you know
 You blow the horn
 That's other way in to unfrow
 When you carrying on
 You way in sings at shaking his leg
 When I'll hawing to your lips
 Oh Cholly, blow that thing
 That slide trombone
 Oh Cholly, make it sing
 That slide trombone
 You'll even make a king
 Get down off his throne
 And he would break a leg, I know
 A-doin' the charleston while you blow
 Oh Cholly Green, play that thing
 I mean that slide trombone
