Mr Bojangles (Live) - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band[00:00:00]
I knew a man bojangles[00:00:05]
And he'd dance for you [00:00:06]
In worn out shoes [00:00:11]
With silver hair a ragged shirt [00:00:14]
And baggy pants[00:00:16]
The old soft shoe [00:00:20]
He jumped so high jumped so high[00:00:25]
Then he'd lightly touch down [00:00:32]
I met him in a cell in new orleans [00:00:38]
I was down and out [00:00:41]
He looked to me to be the eyes[00:00:48]
Of age as he spoke right out[00:00:51]
He talked of life talked of life [00:00:59]
He laughed slapped his leg a step[00:01:06]
He said his name "bojangles"[00:01:12]
Then he danced a lick across the cell[00:01:14]
He grabbed his pants a better stance [00:01:22]
O he jumped so hi [00:01:24]
And he clicked his heels[00:01:27]
He let go a laugh let go a laugh [00:01:32]
Shook back his clothes all around[00:01:39]
Mr Bojangles[00:01:47]
Mr Bojangles[00:01:52]
Mr Bojangles[00:01:57]
Oh just dance[00:02:00]
He danced for those at minstrel shows[00:02:34]
And county fairs [00:02:36]
Throughout the south[00:02:40]
He spoke with tears of 15 years[00:02:44]
How his dog and him traveled about [00:02:46]
His dog up and died [00:02:55]
Up and died [00:02:58]
After 20 years he still grieves [00:03:02]
He said i dance now at every chance[00:03:08]
In honky tonks for drinks and tips[00:03:10]
But most the time i spend behind[00:03:18]
These county bars cause i drinks a bit[00:03:20]
He shook his head [00:03:29]
And as he shook his head[00:03:32]
I heard someone ask him please[00:03:36]
Mr Bojangles[00:03:44]
Mr Bojangles[00:03:48]
Mr Bojangles[00:03:54]
Won't he dance[00:03:56]
Won't he dance[00:03:59]
