| [00:24.64] |
I knew a man Bojangles |
| [00:27.20] |
And he'd dance for you |
| [00:31.70] |
In worn out shoes |
| [00:35.67] |
With silver hair a ragged shirt |
| [00:38.61] |
And baggy pants |
| [00:41.67] |
He would do the old soft shoe |
| [00:47.17] |
He would jump so high |
| [00:49.98] |
Jump so high |
| [00:53.36] |
Then he lightly touch down |
| [00:58.48] |
|
| [01:01.23] |
He told me of the time he worked with |
| [01:04.36] |
Minstrel shows travelling |
| [01:08.55] |
Throughout the south |
| [01:11.55] |
He spoke with tears of fifteen years |
| [01:14.11] |
How his dog and he |
| [01:18.23] |
They would travel about. |
| [01:23.86] |
But his dog up and died |
| [01:30.04] |
He up and died |
| [01:32.66] |
And after twenty years he still grieved |
| [01:38.16] |
|
| [01:38.67] |
He said 'I dance now |
| [01:41.10] |
At every chance in the Honky Tonks |
| [01:45.05] |
For my drinks and tips |
| [01:48.35] |
But most the time I spend |
| [01:51.60] |
Behind these country bars |
| [01:54.86] |
You see on I drinks a bit' |
| [02:00.48] |
Then he shook his head |
| [02:04.35] |
Oh lord when he shook his head |
| [02:09.54] |
I could swear I heard someone say please |
| [02:12.85] |
Mister Bojangles |
| [02:19.91] |
Call him Mister Bojangles |
| [02:25.41] |
Mister Bojangles come back and dance please |
| [02:35.10] |
|
| [02:49.79] |
Come back and dance dance dance again Mr Bojangles |
