I know a fool who blows a horn
He comes from way down South, oh yeah
And you ain't seen some
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 some
blowin' since you been born
Cause he won't show them how

Chorus:
Oh Charlie 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 Charlie won't you play that thing
I mean the slide trombone

Chorus

Now you ain't seen such movin' hips
Like when the trombone's to his lips
Charlie Green play that thing
I mean the slide trombone
Oh yeah, I mean the slide trombone

My great uncle is Charles "Longboy" Green. Bessie Smith wrote this song for him. The lyric says he's from "way down south"... actually he was born in Omaha, Nebraska! Great tribute. Thank you!!
