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
I'm a shoeshine man I'm number one in the land
A shoeshine man make them 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 South Montgomery Blues
You better stick around and watch me cause I'm an entertaining fool
I'm a shoeshine man I'm number one in the land
A shoeshine man make them shine where you stand
Leave me a tip if you can I'm 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
I'm a shoeshine man I'm number one in the land
A shoeshine man make them shine where you stand
Leave me a tip if you can I'm 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
I'm a shoeshine man I'm number one in the land
A shoeshine man make them shine where you stand
Leave me a tip if you can I'm a shoeshine man
