Charley Green, Play That Slide Trombone Songtext
von Jim Croce

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
