Lyrics

[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
