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'm a shoeshine man number one in the land.. [ harmonica ] 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 I'm a shoeshine man number one in the land..
