Mr Bonjangles歌词

I knew a man bojangles and hed dance for you
In worn out shoes

Silver hair and ragged shirt and baggy pants

The old soft shoe

He jumped so high he jumped so high

Then he'd lightly touch down

Mr bojangles Mr bojangles Mr bojangles

met him in a cell in new orleans i was

down and out

He looked to me to be the eyes of age

As he spoke right out

He talked of life he talked of life

He laughed slapped his leg

a ste He said the name bojangles and he danced a lick

across the cell

He grabbed his pants a better stance then he jumped so high

He clicked his heels

He let go a laugh oh he let go a laugh

Shook back his clothes all around

Mr bojangles Mr bojangles Mr bojangles

He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs

throughout the south

He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him

traveled about

His dog up and died he up and died

After twenty years he still grieves

He said i dance now at every chance in honky tonks

for drinks and tips

But most of the time spend behind these county bars

Hell drinks a bit

He shook his head and as he shook his head

heard someone ask him please

Mr bojangles Mr bojangles Mr bojangles

dance~

Mr bojangles Mr bojangles Mr bojangles
