Mr Bojangles - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band[00:00:00]
I knew a man bojangles and he'd dance for you[00:00:06]
In worn out shoes[00:00:11]
With silver hair a ragged shirt and baggy pants[00:00:15]
The old soft shoe he jumped so high jumped so high[00:00:20]
Then he lightly touched down mmm[00:00:28]
I met him in a cell in new orleans I was down and out[00:00:30]
He looked to me to be the eyes of age as he spoke right out[00:00:38]
He talked of life talked of life he laughed[00:00:49]
Clicked his heels and stepped mmm[00:00:53]
He said his name bojangles and he danced a lick[00:00:59]
Across the cell[00:01:13]
He grabbed his pants and spread his stance[00:01:20]
Oh he jumped so high and then he clicked his heels[00:01:25]
He let go a laugh let go a laugh[00:01:37]
And shook back his clothes all around[00:01:51]
Mr bojangles mr bojangles mr bojangles dance[00:01:55]
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs[00:02:03]
Throughout the south[00:02:12]
He spoke through tears of 15 years how his dog and him[00:02:18]
Traveled about[00:02:29]
The dog up and died he up and died[00:02:30]
And after twenty years he still grieves[00:02:37]
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks[00:02:52]
For drinks and tips[00:02:59]
But most the time I spend behind these county bars[00:03:02]
'Cause I drinks a bit[00:03:12]
He shook his head and as he shook his head[00:03:13]
I heard someone ask him please please[00:03:18]
Mr bojangles mr bojangles mr bojangles want you dance[00:03:19]
I knew a man bojangles and he'd dance[00:03:22]
