bessie smith - trombone cholly lyrics
know a fool that blows a h-rn,
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!
n-body 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,
[ from: ]
he’ll let you lead his band, i know!
oh cholly, blow that thing,
play 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 breaka leg, i know,
a-doin’ the charleston while you blow!
oh cholly green, play that thing,
i mean that slide trombone!
