Mr. Bojangles Lyrics - Artist : Earle, Steve
I knew a man, Bojangles and he danced for you
In worn out shoes Silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants The old soft shoe He jumped so high Jumped so high Then he'd lightly touch down I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was Down and out He looked to me to be the weary eyes of age As he spoke right out He talked of life Talked of life He laughed, clicked his heels and stepped He said his name, Bojangles and he danced a lick Across the cell He grabbed his pants, a better stance And he jumped so high And then he clicked his heels He let go a laugh Let go a laugh Shooked his clothes back all around Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles Dance He danced for those in minstrel shows and county fairs Throughout the south He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him Traveled about And dog up and died Dog up and died After twenty years he still grieves And said now I dance at every chance in honky tonks For drinks and tips But most the time I spend behind these county bars Cause I drinks a bit He shook his head And as he shook his head I heard someone ask him please Please Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles Dance Dance |
