歌詞

[Verse 1]
I knew a man, Bojangles, and he'd dance for you
In worn out shoes
Silver hair, a ragged shirt, and baggy pants
The old soft shoe
[Verse 2]
He'd jump so high
He'd jump so high
Then he'd lightly touch down
[Verse 3]
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Dance
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
He talked of life
He talked of life
He laughed, clicked his heels in step
[Verse 6]
He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick
Across the cell
He grabbed his pants, a better stance, whoa, he jumped up high
He clicked his heels
[Verse 7]
He let go a laugh
He let go a laugh
Shook back his clothes all around
[Verse 8]
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Dance
[Verse 9]
He's danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
Throughout the South
He spoke with tears of fifty years, how his dog and him
They traveled about
[Verse 10]
His dog up and died
He up and died
After twenty years, he still grieves
[Verse 11]
He said, "I dance now at every chance in honkytonks
For drinks and tips
Most of the time I spend behind these county bars
'Cause I drink a bit"
[Verse 12]
He shook his head
And as he shook his head
I heard someone ask, "Please?"
[Verse 13]
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Dance
