Shoeshine Man - Tom T.Hall[00:00:00]
Well, I met the man in Montgomery, Alabama[00:00:08]
I was waitin' on a bus and he was shinin' shoes[00:00:12]
And I heard him say[00:00:16]
I'm a shoeshine man, number one in the land[00:00:18]
A shoeshine man, make you shine where you stand[00:00:24]
Leave me a tip if you can, I'm a shoeshine man[00:00:30]
Well, I can sing, I can dance, I can play the harmonica too[00:00:36]
I got a brand new thing called the southside Montgomery Blues[00:00:41]
You better stick around and watch me 'cause I'm an entertainin' fool[00:00:47]
I'm a shoeshine man, number one in the land[00:00:52]
A shoeshine man, make you shine where you stand[00:00:58]
Leave me a tip if you can, I'm a shoeshine man[00:01:03]
Well, I learned my trade from that rag-poppin' daddy of mine[00:01:09]
He shined a pair of alligators, made a hundred-dollar bill one time[00:01:15]
Said, "When that meat gets scarce, I shine two or three pairs for a dime"[00:01:20]
I'm a shoeshine man, number one in the land[00:01:25]
A shoeshine man, make you shine where you stand[00:01:31]
Leave me a tip if you can, I'm a shoeshine man[00:01:36]
I had a girl that helped me, she had a lotta hoochie-coochie ways[00:01:59]
She was bumpin' and grindin', paid that girl a dollar a day[00:02:04]
But she was shy on age and the law come and took her away[00:02:10]
I'm a shoeshine man, number one in the land[00:02:15]
A shoeshine man, make you shine where you stand[00:02:20]
Leave me a tip if you can, I'm a shoeshine man[00:02:26]
