Well I met a man in Montgomery Alabama
|
I was waitin' on a bus he was shinin' shoes and I heard him say
|
I'm a shoeshine man number one in the land
|
I'm a shoeshine man make your 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 my harmonica too
|
I got a brand new thing called the South Side Montgomery Blues
|
You better stick around and watch me cause I'm an entertainer fool
|
I'm a shoeshine man...
|
|
Why I learned my trade from that rank poppin' daddy o'mine
|
He shined pair of alligators made a hundred dollar bill on time
|
And when the meat get scare shine two or three pairs for a dime
|
I'm a shoeshine man...
|
|
I had a girl that helped me she had a lotta hoochy coochy ways
|
She's bumpin' and grindin' 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...
