[00:15.290]I knew a man
[00:16.290]"Bojangles" and
[00:18.890]He'd dance for you
[00:23.190]In worn out shoes
[00:27.290]With silver hair
[00:28.890]A ragged shirt
[00:31.290]And baggy pants
[00:35.690]He would do the old Soft Shoe
[00:42.290]He could jump so high
[00:46.690]Jump so high
[00:49.290]And then he'd lightly touch down
[00:59.190]I met him in
[01:02.290]A cell in New Orleans
[01:03.650]I was
[01:07.350]Well I was down and out
[01:11.350]He looked to me
[01:13.250]To be the very eyes of age
[01:18.250]As he spoke right out
[01:25.150]He talked of life
[01:29.350]Lord, he talked of life
[01:36.150]He laugh-slapped his leg in step
[01:42.350]He said his name was
[01:44.350]"Bojangles" and then he danced a lick
[01:49.350]Right across the cell
[01:53.350]He grabbed his pants
[01:55.150]Took a better stance
[01:57.150]Jumped up high
[01:58.650]That's when he clicked his heels
[02:07.350]Then he let go a laugh
[02:13.350]Lord, he let go a laugh
[02:17.350]Shook back his clothes all around
[02:25.150]That was Mr. Bojangles
[02:31.850]Mr. Bojangles
[02:38.350]Mr. Bojangles
[02:43.250]Lord, he could dance
[02:48.350]He told me of the times he'd worked
[02:52.350]For minstrel shows
[02:57.250]Traveling throughout the South
[02:59.350]He spoke with tears
[03:01.150]Of fifteen years
[03:04.350]How his dog and he
[03:09.650]They just traveled about
[03:16.150]But his dog up and died
[03:19.350]Dog up and died
[03:23.350]And after twenty years he still grieves
[03:32.350]He said "I dance
[03:33.650]"Now at every chance n honky-tonks
[03:40.250]"For my drinks and tips
[03:44.350]"But most of the time I spend behind
[03:46.350]"These county bars
[03:52:150]"You see son, I, I drinks a bit"
[03:57.350]Then he shook his head
[04:02.350]Lord, when he shook his head
[04:06.350]I could swear I heard someone say, "Please,
[04:16.250]"Mr. Bojangles
[04:21.650]"Mr. Bojangles
[04:27.350]"Mr. Bojangles
[04:30.250]"Come back and dance"
[04:33.350]Dance, dance, dance
[04:35.150]Come back and please dance
[04:39.350]Mr. Bojangles
[04:46.350]Mr. Bojangles,
[04:54.350]Mr. Bojangles
[04:58.350]Dance
[05:02.650]Why can't you come back and dance?
[05:08.350]Please, Bojangles
[05:16.350]Dance
[05:20.350]Again, Bojangles
