歌詞

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the Whose Garden Was This? album, and has also been released on the Changes album. I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you In worn out shoes Silver hair a ragged shirt and baggy pants The old soft shoe He jumped so high He jumped so high And he'd lightly touched down Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles dance I met him in a cell in New Orleans he was down and out He looked to me to be the eyes of age as he He spoke right out He talked about life He talked of life He laugh-slapped his leg in step He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick Across the cell He grabbed his pants and took a stance And he jumped so high He clicked his heels He let go a laugh He let go a laugh Shook his clothes all around Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles dance We danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs Throughout the south He spoke in tears of fifteen years How his dog and him They traveled about The dog up and died He up and died After twenty years he still grieves He said I dance now at every chance and honky tonks For drinks and tips But most the time I spend behind these county bars Cause I drinks a bit He shook his head now He shook his head I heard someone ask please Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles hey Mr Bojangles dance Words and music by Walker
