[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 had a girl that helped me she
Had a lotta hoochy coochy 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
