I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you in warn out shoes
Silver hair a ragged shirt and baggy pants the old sof' shoe
he jumped so high jumped so high then he lightly touched down
I met a man in a cell in New Orleans that was down and out
He looked at me to be the eyes of age as the smoke ran out
he talked of life he talked of life laughed clicked his heals and
stepped
He said his name Bojangles and he danced a lick across the cell
he grabbed his pants and featherd stance for he jumped so high then he
clicked his heals He let go a laugh let go a laugh shook back
his clothes all around
Mr.Bojangles
Mr.bojangles
Mr.bojangles wont you dance
He danced for those in minstral shows and county fairs throughout the
south
He spoke through tears of fifteen years how his dog and him traveled
about
the dog up and died he up and died after twenty years he still
greeved
Set a dance now at every chance in a honkey tonks for drinks and tips
But most the time was spent behind these county bars cause i drinks a bit
He shook his head and as he shook his head i heard someone ask
him please PLEASE
Mr.Bojangles
Mr.Bojangles
Mr.Bojangles wont you dance.
Im up for Any Corrections, By All Means. :)
Hope You Have fun, this is a great song to cover
