Lyrics

Know a fool that blows a 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, make it sing That slide trombone You'll even make a king Get down off his throne; And he would breaka leg, I know A-doin' the charleston while you blow! Oh Cholly Green, play that thing I mean that slide trombone!
