Dave Dudley - Shoeshine Man Lyrics

Well I met a man in Montgomery Alabama

I was waitin' on a bus he was shinin' shoes and I heard him say

I'm a shoeshine man number one in the land

I'm a shoeshine man make your 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 my harmonica too

I got a brand new thing called the South Side Montgomery Blues

You better stick around and watch me cause I'm an entertainer fool

I'm a shoeshine man...



Why I learned my trade from that rank poppin' daddy o'mine

He shined pair of alligators made a hundred dollar bill on time

And when the meat get scare shine two or three pairs for a dime

I'm a shoeshine man...



I had a girl that helped me she had a lotta hoochy coochy ways

She's 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...
