Written by:Walker[00:00:01]
I knew a man[00:00:08]
Bojangles and he danced for you[00:00:09]
In worn out shoes[00:00:13]
Silver hair a ragged shirt and baggy pants[00:00:16]
The old soft shoe[00:00:21]
He jumped so high jumped so high[00:00:25]
And then he'd lightly touch down[00:00:31]
I met him in a cell in New Orleans[00:00:36]
He was down and out[00:00:41]
He looked at me to be the eyes of age[00:00:44]
As he spoke right out[00:00:49]
He talked of life he talked of life[00:00:53]
He laughed slapped his leg and stepped[00:00:59]
Mr Bojangles[00:01:05]
Mr Bojangles[00:01:09]
Mr Bojangles dance[00:01:14]
He said his name[00:01:20]
Bojangles and he danced a lick[00:01:21]
Across the cell[00:01:25]
He grabbed his pants a better stance[00:01:28]
And jumped so high[00:01:30]
Clicked his heels[00:01:34]
He let go a laugh let go a laugh[00:01:37]
Shook back his clothes all around[00:01:43]
He danced for those in minstrel shows[00:01:48]
And County fairs[00:01:50]
Throughout the South[00:01:53]
He spoke with tears of fifteen years[00:01:56]
On how his dog and he[00:01:58]
He traveled about[00:02:01]
His dog up and died he up and died[00:02:05]
After twenty years he still at grief[00:02:11]
Mr Bojangles[00:02:17]
Mr Bojangles[00:02:21]
Mr Bojangles dance[00:02:25]
He said I dance now[00:02:32]
At every chance in honky towns[00:02:33]
For drinks and tips[00:02:37]
But most of time[00:02:40]
I spend behind these County bars[00:02:41]
'Cause I drinks of beer[00:02:45]
He shook his head[00:02:49]
And he shook his head[00:02:51]
That someone ask please[00:02:55]
Go on and dance[00:02:59]
