Shoeshine Man — текст песни (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...
