Mr. Bojangles - Alice Lamb[00:00:00]
I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you[00:00:02]
In worn out shoes[00:00:10]
Silver hair ragged shirt and baggy pants [00:00:15]
That old soft shoe[00:00:22]
He'd jump so high he'd jump so high [00:00:29]
Will he likely touch down [00:00:36]
I met him in a cell in New Orleans [00:00:47]
I was down and out[00:00:50]
He looked to me to be the eye of age[00:01:00]
As he spoke right out[00:01:07]
He talked of life [00:01:13]
He talked of life laughing slapped his leg stale[00:01:17]
Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles dance [00:01:31]
He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick[00:01:55]
All across the cell[00:02:02]
He grabbed his pants for a better stance [00:02:08]
Oh he jumped so high and he clicked[00:02:11]
Up his heels[00:02:16]
He let go laugh he let go laugh [00:02:21]
Shook back his clothes all around[00:02:27]
He danced for those at minstrel shows[00:02:40]
And county fairs throughtout the south[00:02:43]
He spoke with tears of 15 years of how his dog and him[00:02:52]
Travelled all about[00:03:00]
Hid dog up and died he up and died [00:03:06]
After 20 years he still grieves[00:03:13]
Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles dance [00:03:24]
He said I dance now at every chance at honky-tonks[00:03:48]
For drinks and tips[00:03:55]
But most of the time I spend behind these county bars [00:04:01]
Cause I drink so bit[00:04:07]
He shook his head yes he shook his head [00:04:14]
I heard someone specially ask him please [00:04:22]
Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles dance[00:04:33]
