tom t hall - shoeshine man lyrics
well i met a man in montgomery alabama
i was waitin’ on a bus and he was shinin’ shoes and i heard him say
i’m a shoeshine man number one in the land
a shoeshine man make you shine where you stand
leave me a tip if you can i’m a shoeshine man
well i can sing i can dance i can play the harmonica too
i got a brand new thing on the south side montgomery blues
you better stick around and watch me cause i’m an entertainin’ fool
i’m a shoeshine man number one in the land…
well i learned my trade from that rag-poppin’ daddy o’mine
he shined twelve alligators made a hundred dollar bill one time
and when the meat gets scarce i shine two or three pairs for a dime
i’m a shoeshine man number one in the land…
[ harmonica ]
i had a girl that helped me she had a lotta hoochy coochy ways
she was b-mping and grinding paid that girl a dollar a day
but she was shy on age and the law come and took her away
i’m a shoeshine man number one in the land…
