Verso:
I knew a man Bojangles
Riff:
And he ll dance for you
( )
In worn out shoes
Riff:
With silver hair and ragged shirt baggy pants
( )
He would do the old soft shoe
Ponte:
He would jump so high
Jump so hi-igh
Then he lightly touched down
He told me of the time he worked with Minstrel shows
Travelling throughout the south
He spoke with tears of fifteen years
How his dog and he, they would travel about.
But his dog up and died, he up and died
And after twenty years he still grieved
Refrão:
That s mister Bojangles
Calling mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles come back and dance and dance
(Riff)
And dance please dance
He said I dance now
At every chance in the Honky Tonks
For my drinks and tips
But most the time I spend
Behind these country bars
You see on I drinks a bit
Then he shook his head
Oh lord when he shook his head
I could swear I heard someone say please
Refrão:
That s mister Bojangles
Calling mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles come back and dance and dance
(Riff)
And dance please dance
