Play That Country Tuba, Cowboy Songtext
Songtext powered by LyricFind
Well musician stories have made the rounds
About travelling bands and redneck towns
But for tuba players this has got to be a first
This one starts like they all do,
I’d been travelling hard for a day or two
And I stopped into this joint to quench my thirst
Up walked this big mountain man
He said, “What you got there? A garbage can?”
I said, “Excuse me, that’s my tuba if you please”
He said, “Great! Play a country song,
About travelling bands and redneck towns
But for tuba players this has got to be a first
This one starts like they all do,
I’d been travelling hard for a day or two
And I stopped into this joint to quench my thirst
Up walked this big mountain man
He said, “What you got there? A garbage can?”
I said, “Excuse me, that’s my tuba if you please”
He said, “Great! Play a country song,
so me and my buddies can sing along”
And I told him, “I only play with symphonies”
He slammed his fist, and spit out his beer
And his body language made it very clear
This wasn’t gonna be just another B-flat day
That’s when he cocked his thirty odd six
And boy I let out with some country licks
I never thought I’d hear my tuba play
Play that country tuba, cowboy
Well after a while I ran out of air
And I figured I better get out of there
So I grabbed my horn and I headed for the door
Just about then I felt a lasso
Wrapped around me and my tuba too
And they yanked me back and hollered “More man more!”
Play that country tuba, cowboy
And I told him, “I only play with symphonies”
He slammed his fist, and spit out his beer
And his body language made it very clear
This wasn’t gonna be just another B-flat day
That’s when he cocked his thirty odd six
And boy I let out with some country licks
I never thought I’d hear my tuba play
Play that country tuba, cowboy
Well after a while I ran out of air
And I figured I better get out of there
So I grabbed my horn and I headed for the door
Just about then I felt a lasso
Wrapped around me and my tuba too
And they yanked me back and hollered “More man more!”
Play that country tuba, cowboy
