Mr Bojangles[00:00:03]
Harry Belafonte[00:00:06]
Oh I knew a man, Bojangles and he danced for you[00:00:18]
In worn out shoes[00:00:27]
With silver hair and ragged shirt and baggy pants[00:00:31]
The old soft shoe[00:00:38]
He jumped so high, he jumped so high[00:00:43]
Then he lightly touch down[00:00:52]
Mr. Bojangles, Mr Bojangles[00:00:57]
Mr Bojangles dance[00:01:08]
I met him in a cell in New Orleans[00:01:18]
I was down and out[00:01:26]
He looked to me to be the eyes of age[00:01:30]
As he spoke right out[00:01:37]
He talked of life, he talked of life[00:01:42]
He laughed slapped his leg a step[00:01:49]
He spoke the name Bojangles then he danced a lick[00:01:55]
Across the cell[00:02:03]
He grabbed his pants, a better stance[00:02:07]
Oh he jumped so high, he clicked his heels[00:02:09]
He let go a laugh, He let go a laugh[00:02:19]
Shook back his clothes all around[00:02:26]
Mr Bojangles, Mr Bojangles[00:02:34]
Mr Bojangles dance[00:02:44]
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs[00:02:55]
Throughout the south[00:03:03]
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him[00:03:06]
Traveled about[00:03:14]
His dog up and died, His dog up and died[00:03:19]
After 20 years he still grieves[00:03:26]
He said I dance now at every chance in Honky tonks[00:03:32]
For drinks and tips[00:03:39]
But most the time I spend behind these county bars[00:03:43]
Cause I drinks a bit[00:03:50]
He shook his head[00:03:56]
And as he shook his head[00:04:02]
I heard someone ask please[00:04:04]
Mr Bojangles, Mr Bojangles[00:04:11]
Mr Bojangles oh dance[00:04:22]
