| [00:24.71] |
I knew a man Bojangles And he'd dance for you |
| [00:31.67] |
In worn out shoes |
| [00:35.53] |
With silver hair a ragged shirtAnd baggy pants |
| [00:41.67] |
He would do the old soft shoe |
| [00:47.32] |
He would jump so high |
| [00:49.81] |
Jump so high |
| [00:53.51] |
Then he lightly touch down |
| [00:58.98] |
|
| [01:01.43] |
He told me of the time he worked with |
| [01:04.40] |
Minstrel shows travelling |
| [01:07.96] |
Throughout the south |
| [01:10.84] |
|
| [01:11.54] |
He spoke with tears of fifteen years |
| [01:14.41] |
How his dog and he |
| [01:18.20] |
They would travel about. |
| [01:22.73] |
|
| [01:24.12] |
But his dog up and died |
| [01:29.85] |
He up and died |
| [01:32.77] |
And after twenty years he still grieved |
| [01:36.14] |
|
| [01:37.90] |
He said "I dance now |
| [01:41.07] |
At every chance in the Honky Tonks |
| [01:45.06] |
For my drinks and tips |
| [01:47.86] |
|
| [01:48.54] |
But most the time I spend |
| [01:51.26] |
Behind these country bars |
| [01:54.92] |
You see on I drinks a bit" |
| [01:59.41] |
|
| [02:00.87] |
Then he shook his head |
| [02:04.60] |
Oh lord when he shook his head |
| [02:09.71] |
I could swear I heard someone say please |
| [02:13.80] |
|
| [02:14.98] |
Mister Bojangles |
| [02:20.05] |
Call him Mister Bojangles |
| [02:25.43] |

| [02:59.84] |
|
| [03:00.30] |

| [03:01.80] |
