Lyrics for Song: Mr. Bojangles
Lyrics for Album: In And Out Of Consciousness - The Greatest Hits 1990-2010 [2010]
I knew a man Bojangles
And he'll dance for you
In worn out shoes
With silver hair and ragged shirt, baggy pants
He would do the old soft shoe
He would jump so high
Jump so high
Then he'd lightly, touch down
Told me of the time
He worked with, with minstrel shows
Travelling throughout the south
Spoke with tears for fifteen years
How his, how his dog and he
They would travel about
But his dog up and died
Bought up and died
And after twenty years he still grieves
He said
I dance now and
Every chance in honky tonks
for my drinks and tips
but most the time I, I spend behind these county bars
You see son I, I drinks a bit
Then he shook his head
Oh Lord, when he shook his head
I could swear I heard somebody say please, please
There's mister Bojangles
Call him mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles come back and dance and dance
and dance please dance
Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles come back and dance and dance
and dance please dance
Come back and dance mister Bojangles
