| [00:01.917] |
I knew a man Bojangles |
| [00:04.167] |
And he danced for you |
| [00:08.542] |
In worn out shoes |
| [00:14.37] |
With silver hair a ragged shirt |
| [00:17.161] |
And baggy pants the old soft shoe |
| [00:27.785] |
He jumped so high he jumped so high |
| [00:36.411] |
Then he lightly touched down |
| [00:45.667] |
I met him in a cell in New Orleans |
| [00:48.790] |
I was down and out |
| [00:58.197] |
He looked at me to be the eyes of age |
| [01:04.938] |
As he spoke right out |
| [01:11.945] |
He talked of life he talked of life |
| [01:19.568] |
He laughed and slapped his leg a step |
| [01:30.07] |
Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles |
| [01:41.999] |
Mr Bojangles dance |
| [01:54.693] |
He said his name Bojangles |
| [01:57.879] |
Then he danced a lick across the cell |
| [02:07.942] |
He grabbed his pants |
| [02:09.566] |
A better stance |
| [02:10.817] |
Oh he jumped up high |
| [02:15.503] |
He clicked his heels |
| [02:21.504] |
He let go a laugh he let go a laugh |
| [02:29.315] |
Shook back his clothes all around |
| [02:39.691] |
He danced for those |
| [02:41.378] |
At minstrel shows and county fairs |
| [02:46.440] |
Throughout the south |
| [02:51.752] |
He spoke with tears of 15years |
| [02:56.05] |
How his dog and he traveled about |
| [03:05.515] |
His dog up and died he up and died |
| [03:14.328] |
After 20years he still grieves |
| [03:22.767] |
Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles |
| [03:35.454] |
Mr Bojangles dance |
| [03:50.201] |
He said I dance now |
| [03:52.202] |
At every chance in honky tonks |
| [03:57.576] |
For drinks and tips |
| [04:04.701] |
But most of the time |
| [04:06.14] |
I spend behind these county bars |
| [04:09.710] |
He said I drinks a bit |
| [04:17.205] |
He shook his head |
| [04:20.734] |
And as he shook his head |
| [04:24.858] |
I heard someone respectfully ask |
| [04:29.607] |
Please |
| [04:34.108] |
Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles |
| [04:46.421] |
Mr Bojangles dance |
