Lyrics:
Well I met the 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 called 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
A shoeshine man, make you shine where you stand
Leave me a tip if you can, I'm a shoeshine man
Well I learned my trade from that rag-poppin' daddy of mine
He shined a pair of alligators, made a hundred dollar bill one time
And when that meat gets scarce I shine two or three pair for a dime
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
I had a girl that helped me, she had a lotta hoochy coochy ways
She was 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 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

Tom T, don't get the credit he deserves. What a songwriter.
My daddy loved Tom T and he taught me to love Tom T too
I'm 34 yrs old, when I was little, I had this 45. I bet you I wore this thing out!
I used to sing this song to my little girls and rock them. they loved it. I thought they had forgotten all about it. Then last night on FB, my daughter put this song on her page, saying it made her think of her mom! I love Tom T Hall
❤
Tom T Hall is a genius storyteller very few will be able to compete with him
He shined shoes at the whitly motel barber shop i was six years old he was so funny im an old man now and this song takes me back to the barber shop
This song is so integral to one of my favorite memories with my family as a child....pops had this on 8 track and had it playing in our dodge travco motorhome driving from Mass to Maine for Thanksgiving. Revisiting it over 45 years later it's no surprise because it's a phenomenal song.
one of the absolute best songwriters ever bar none !!!!!!!
banger.
Only recently discovered the music of Tom T Hall and what a discovery it was.He was an excellent story teller and i'm wondering did he get the credit that he deserved.Thank you Mr Hall.🎸🎵🎶
Tom T. Hall from Olive Hill, Kentucky! Carter County!❤
My grandparents lived in Hoquiam, Washington, on the Pacific Coast. As a child, I lived with my parents in Colorado, but we drove to Washington every summer to visit. My Dad's folks had a big, lime '70's green 1972 Mercury Marquis with a Ford Factory 8-track player. I loved to hear this song on that 8-track when I was four years old! So much, in fact, that the very first thing I asked Grandma for when we pulled into the driveway a whole year later was to hear "Shoeshine Man" in the Mercury!

I'm 25 rn and couldn't listen to anything else but buck owens tom t hall jhonny paycheck Waylon hank jr and hank 1, George jones. List goes on real country music
A regular song on my setlist in the 70's. We played all over Kentucky and then back to Northern Indiana.
I'm in a "Tom T" State of Mind, so thank you VERY MUCH, Mr. Steven Spolar for bringing me here! Sometimes you like the artist and then sometimes you like the person who reminds you of the artist. That's you, Sir and thanks very much again from this old rock'n roll drummer! :)
My grand dad and I use to listen to Tom T. Hall on his 8-track all the time when I was young. Real country!
My son turned me on to Tom T Hall. And I'm thankful..

Good dancin music love it 😀
This beat still makes you move.
Tom T Hall my numero unto.
Great song
My grand dad put me on this song!
Straight rock and roll three chord song, four if you put in the 7th.... Obviously Tom T didn't intend it to make it for the rock and roll audience.... great for jamming.
Great song, one of my favorites. In my opinion Mr. Hall has wrote some of the best songs out there, some of the songs were sung by George Jones, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and even Alan Jackson just to name a few.
