[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
