I'm going back Back to the shoe shine stand I'm going back Back to the shoe shine stand Been on the road, both day and night Heard my papa call, heard my mama cry I'm going back Back to the shoe shine stand I'll be singing the blues While I shine your shoes I'm a soul fixin' man Heard my mama talk, heard my papa, too Better get on home, got to shine them shoes I'm going back Back to the shoe shine stand I'll be singing the blues While I'm shining your shoes I'm a soul fixin' man I'm going back, I'm going back I'm going back, I'm going back I'm going back Back to the shoe shine stand I'll be singing the blues While I'm shining your shoes I'm a soul fixin' man
