mr. bojangles - lambert and nuttycombe lyrics

Loading...

i knew a man, bojangles, and he danced for you
in worn out shoes
with silver hair, ragged shirt, and baggy pants
the old soft shoe

he jumped so high
jumped so high
then he’d lightly touch down

i 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
talked of life
he laughed, and slapped his leg instead

mister bojangles
mister bojangles
mister bojangles
dance

he danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
throughout the south
he spoke in tears of fifteen years of how his dog and him
traveled about
his dog up and died
up and died
after twenty years he still grieves

he said, “i dance now every chance at 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
and as he shook his head
i heard someone ask, “please

mister bojangles
mister bojangles
mister bojangles
dance”
