Mr. Bojangles (Live) (Live) - The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band[00:00:00]
I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you in worn out shoes[00:00:05]
With silver hair a ragged shirt and baggy pants the old soft shoe[00:00:14]
He jumped so high he jumped so high[00:00:25]
Then he lightly touched down[00:00:32]
I met him in a cell in new orleans I was down and out[00:00:38]
He looked at me to be the eyes of age as he spoke right out[00:00:48]
He talked of life he talked of life he laughed slapped his leg a step[00:00:59]
Mr. Bojangles[00:01:12]
Mr. Bojangles dance a lick across the cell[00:01:13]
He grabbed his pants a better stance oh he jumped up so high[00:01:22]
Then he clicked his heels[00:01:28]
He let go a laugh he let go a laugh[00:01:33]
Shook back his clothes all around[00:01:39]
Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles[00:01:47]
Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles dance[00:01:52]
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs[00:02:35]
Through out the south[00:02:40]
He spoke with tears of 15 years how his dog and him[00:02:44]
Had traveled about[00:02:50]
His dog up and died he up and died after 20 years he still grieves[00:02:55]
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks[00:03:08]
For drink and tips[00:03:14]
But most of the time I spend behind these county bars[00:03:18]
'Cause I drinks a bit [00:03:24]
He shook his head and as he shook his head[00:03:29]
I hear someone ask him please [00:03:36]
Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles[00:03:45]
What she dance what she dance[00:03:56]
