[00:03.16] Mr Bojangles
[00:03.64]
[00:06.37] 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
[00:57.10]
[00:57.77] Mr. Bojangles, Mr Bojangles
[01:08.85] Mr Bojangles dance
[01:16.95]
[01:18.81] 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] Mr Bojangles dance
[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] Mr Bojangles oh dance
[04:33.48]
