CHARLEY STONE
From : "Fast and Funky"
Larry Johnson


Yeah, an' I know a fool
He came from way down south
Called him Charley Stone
Now he make a livin'
Goin' 'round town
I mean blowin' on a slide trombone
Now he could make it moan an'
He could make it sing
Hey where did he get that thing
But play on Stone
Go on with your slide trombone

Now when he played that thing
Down on Market Street
Butcher Sam had to leave his meat
To hear old Stone
Blowin' on his slide trombone

...let's get it now Stone..Yeah...Yeah
I say hey there Stone
Play it on your slide trombone

I said I know a fool
He came from way down south
Called him Charley Stone
Ahh, he make a livin'
Goin' 'round town
I mean blowin' on a slide trombone
Yes, he can make it moan an'
He can make it sing
Tell me where did he get that thing
But play on Stone
Go on with your slide trombone

Now the women gather 'round
And they shake their hips (oooh)
When that horn is
Shakin' to his lips
Singing play on Stone
Go on with your slide trombone

Now as he played it Sunday morning
And the Sisters strut around (Ha!)
Preacher Johnson
Laid his Bible down
To hear old Stone
Blow it on is slide trombone

Yeah, Charley Stone
Blow it on, I mean blow it on your slide trombone
Yes, yes, yes, yes,

My, my, my..
