Текст песни Trombone Cholly - Bessie Smith

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
