Charley Green, Play That Slide Trombone

I know a fool who blows a horn He comes from ‘way down South Oh yeah; And you ain’t seen such blowin’ since you been born Like when a trombone’s to his mouth He wails and moans, grunts and groans He can moan just like a cow; And you ain’t seen such blowin’ Since you been born, ‘Cause he won’t show ‘em how Oh, Charley, won’t you play that thing, I mean the slide trombone Make it talk, Make it sing I mean the slide trombone If Gabriel knew how you could blow He’d let you lead his band, I know Oh, Charley, won’t you play that thing I mean the slide trombone Oh, Charley, play that thing I mean the slide trombone Make it talk, Make it sing I mean the slide trombone Now you ain’t seen such movin’ hips Like when the trombone’s to his lips Charley Green, play that thing I mean the slide trombone Oh, yeah, I mean the slide trombone
