Tom T Hall Miscellaneous Shoeshine Man (1970) Well I met the man in Montgomery, Alabama I was waiting on a bus and he was shining shoes And I heard him say Im a shoeshine man Im number one in the land A shoeshine man make them shine where you stand Leave me a tip if you can Im a shoeshine man Well I can sing I can dance I can play the harmonica too I got a brand new thing called the South Montgomery Blues You better stick around and watch me cause Im an entertaining fool Im a shoeshine man Im number one in the land A shoeshine man make them shine where you stand Leave me a tip if you can Im a shoeshine man Well I learned my trade from that rag-popping daddy of mine He shined a pair of alligators made a hundred dollar bill one time Said when I need to get me gas I shine two or three pair for a dime Im a shoeshine man Im number one in the land A shoeshine man make them shine where you stand Leave me a tip if you can Im a shoeshine man I had a girl to help me she had a lot of hoochie-coochie ways She was bumping and grinding paid that girl a dollar a day But she was shy on age and the law come and took her away Im a shoeshine man Im number one in the land A shoeshine man make them shine where you stand Leave me a tip if you can Im a shoeshine man |
