Harry Belafonte |
| [00:07.61] |
|
| [00:18.99] |
Oh I knew a man, Bojangles and he danced for you |
| [00:27.40] |
In worn out shoes |
| [00:31.34] |
With silver hair and ragged shirt and baggy pants |
| [00:38.59] |
The old soft shoe |
| [00:43.38] |
He jumped so high, he jumped so high |
| [00:52.02] |
Then he lightly touch down |

I met him in a cell in New Orleans |
| [01:26.89] |
I was down and out |
| [01:30.26] |
He looked to me to be the eyes of age |
| [01:37.78] |
As he spoke right out |
| [01:42.90] |
He talked of life, he talked of life |
| [01:49.92] |
He laughed slapped his leg a step |
| [01:54.27] |
|
| [01:55.65] |
He spoke the name Bojangles then he danced a lick |
| [02:03.87] |
Across the cell |
| [02:07.15] |
He grabbed his pants, a better stance |
| [02:09.69] |
Oh he jumped so high, he clicked his heels |
| [02:19.71] |
He let go a laugh, He let go a laugh |
| [02:26.82] |
Shook back his clothes all around |
| [02:32.84] |
|
| [02:34.06] |
Mr Bojangles, Mr Bojangles |
| [02:44.96] |

| [02:53.29] |
|
| [02:55.26] |
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs |
| [03:03.47] |
Throughout the south |
| [03:06.65] |
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him |
| [03:14.96] |
Traveled about |
| [03:19.27] |
His dog up and died, His dog up and died |
| [03:26.53] |
After 20 years he still grieves |
| [03:32.29] |
|
| [03:32.73] |
He said I dance now at every chance in Honky tonks |
| [03:39.75] |
For drinks and tips |
| [03:43.77] |
But most the time I spend behind these county bars |
| [03:50.01] |
Cause I drinks a bit |
| [03:56.51] |
He shook his head |
| [04:02.64] |
And as he shook his head |
| [04:04.51] |
I heard someone ask please |
| [04:11.26] |
Mr Bojangles, Mr Bojangles |
| [04:22.08] |
