Mr. Bojangles (LP Version) - Jerry Jeff Walker (杰里·杰夫·沃克)[00:00:00]
Written by:Jerry Jeff Walker[00:00:02]
I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you[00:00:13]
In worn out shoes[00:00:18]
Silver hair and ragged shirt and baggy pants[00:00:21]
The old soft shoe[00:00:27]
He jumped so high he jumped so high[00:00:31]
Then he'd lightly touch down[00:00:37]
Mr. Bojangles[00:00:43]

Mr. Bojangles[00:00:52]
I met him in a cell in New Orleans[00:01:00]
I was down and out[00:01:02]
He looked to me to be the eyes of age[00:01:08]
As he spoke right out[00:01:13]
He talked of life he talked of life[00:01:17]
He laughed slapped his leg a step[00:01:24]
He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick across the cell[00:01:29]
He grabbed his pants a better stance then he jumped so high[00:01:38]
He clicked his heels[00:01:43]
He let go a laugh oh he let go a laugh[00:01:47]
Shook back his clothes all around[00:01:54]

Dance[00:02:12]
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs throughout the south[00:02:16]
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him traveled about[00:02:25]
His dog up and died he up and died[00:02:35]
After twenty years he still grieves[00:02:41]
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks for drinks and tips[00:02:46]
But most o' the time I spend behind these county bars[00:02:55]
Hell I drinks a bit[00:03:00]
He shook his head and as he shook his head[00:03:05]
I heard someone ask him please[00:03:11]

I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you[00:04:20]
In worn out shoes[00:04:25]
Silver hair and ragged shirt and baggy pants[00:04:28]
He did the old soft shoe[00:04:33]
He jumped so high he jumped so high[00:04:38]
Then he'd lightly touch down[00:04:44]
