Charley Green, Play That Slide Trombone (Live at Cazenovia College 1964) Lyrics by Jim Croce

Lost Time In A Bottle

2014

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 mеan the slide trombone
Now you ain’t seen such movin’ hips
Likе when the trombone’s to his lips
Charley Green, play that thing
I mean the slide trombone, oh yeah
I mean the slide trombone
