Tom T. Hall - Shoeshine Man lyrics



Well I met the man in Montgomery, Alabama
I was waiting on a bus and he was shining shoes
And I heard him say:

I'm a shoeshine man
Number one in the land
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 called the Southside Montgomery Blues
You better stick around and watch me,
Cause I'm an entertaining fool

I'm a shoeshine man
Number one in the land
Shoeshine man- Make you shine where you stand
Leave me a tip if you can
I'm a shoeshine man

Well I learned my trade from that rag poppin' daddy of mine
Shined a pair of alligators, made a hundred dollar bill one time
Says when that meat gets scarce,
He'd shine two or three pairs for a dime

I'm a shoeshine man
Number one in the land
Shoeshine man- Make you shine where you stand
Leave me a tip if you can
I'm a shoeshine man

I had a girl who helped me
She had a lot of hoochie coochie ways
She was 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
Number one in the land
Shoeshine man- Make you shine where you stand
Leave me a tip if you can
I'm a shoeshine man
