Shoeshine Man Lyrics - Dave Dudley

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...
