Jimmy Davis & Junction: Shoe shine man lyrics

Jimmy Davis & Junction

Shoe shine man

Well I met the man in Montgomery, Alabama

I was waiting on a bus

And he was shinin' shoes

And I heard him say

I'm a shoe shine man

Number oone in the land

A shoe shine man

I'll make you shine where you stand

Leave me a tip if you can

I'm a shoe shine man

I can sing, I can dance

I can play the harmonica too

I got a brand new thing

Called the Southside Montgomery Blues

You better stick around and watch me

'Cause I'm an entertainin' fool

I'm a shoe shine man

Number oone in the land

A shoe shine man

I'll make you shine where you stand

Leave me a tip if you can

I'm a shoe shine man

Well I learned my trade

From that rag poppin' daddy of mine

Shined a pair of alligators

Made a hundred dollar tip one time

And when the money'd get scarce

He'd shine two or three pair for a dime

I'm a shoe shine man

Number oone in the land

A shoe shine man

I'll make you shine where you stand

Leave me a tip if you can

I'm a shoe shine man

Well I had a girl that helped me

She had a lotta hoochie-coochie ways

She could bump'em and grind'em

I paid that girl a dollar a day

But she was shy on age

And the law come and took her away

I'm a shoe shine man

Number oone in the land

A shoe shine man

I'll make you shine where you stand

Leave me a tip if you can

I'm a shoe shine man
