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
