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...
