I knew a man |
[00:16.290] |
"Bojangles" and |
[00:18.890] |
He'd dance for you |
[00:23.190] |
In worn out shoes |
[00:27.290] |
With silver hair |
[00:28.890] |
A ragged shirt |
[00:31.290] |
And baggy pants |
[00:35.690] |
He would do the old Soft Shoe |
[00:42.290] |
He could jump so high |
[00:46.690] |
Jump so high |
[00:49.290] |
And then he'd lightly touch down |
[00:59.190] |
I met him in |
[01:02.290] |
A cell in New Orleans |
[01:03.650] |
I was |
[01:07.350] |
Well I was down and out |
[01:11.350] |
He looked to me |
[01:13.250] |
To be the very eyes of age |
[01:18.250] |
As he spoke right out |
[01:25.150] |
He talked of life |
[01:29.350] |
Lord, he talked of life |
[01:36.150] |
He laugh-slapped his leg in step |
[01:42.350] |
He said his name was |
[01:44.350] |
"Bojangles" and then he danced a lick |
[01:49.350] |
Right across the cell |
[01:53.350] |
He grabbed his pants |
[01:55.150] |
Took a better stance |
[01:57.150] |
Jumped up high |
[01:58.650] |
That's when he clicked his heels |
[02:07.350] |
Then he let go a laugh |
[02:13.350] |
Lord, he let go a laugh |
[02:17.350] |
Shook back his clothes all around |
[02:25.150] |
That was Mr. Bojangles |
[02:31.850] |
Mr. Bojangles |
[02:38.350] |
Mr. Bojangles |
[02:43.250] |
Lord, he could dance |
[02:48.350] |
He told me of the times he'd worked |
[02:52.350] |
For minstrel shows |
[02:57.250] |
Traveling throughout the South |
[02:59.350] |
He spoke with tears |
[03:01.150] |
Of fifteen years |
[03:04.350] |
How his dog and he |
[03:09.650] |
They just traveled about |
[03:16.150] |
But his dog up and died |
[03:19.350] |
Dog up and died |
[03:23.350] |
And after twenty years he still grieves |
[03:32.350] |
He said "I dance |
[03:33.650] |
"Now at every chance n honky-tonks |
[03:40.250] |
"For my drinks and tips |
[03:44.350] |
"But most of the time I spend behind |
[03:46.350] |
"These county bars |
[03:52:150] |
"You see son, I, I drinks a bit" |
[03:57.350] |
Then he shook his head |
[04:02.350] |
Lord, when he shook his head |
[04:06.350] |
I could swear I heard someone say, "Please, |
[04:16.250] |
"Mr. Bojangles |
[04:21.650] |
"Mr. Bojangles |
[04:27.350] |
"Mr. Bojangles |
[04:30.250] |
"Come back and dance" |
[04:33.350] |
Dance, dance, dance |
[04:35.150] |
Come back and please dance |
[04:39.350] |
Mr. Bojangles |
[04:46.350] |
Mr. Bojangles, |
[04:54.350] |
Mr. Bojangles |
[04:58.350] |
Dance |
[05:02.650] |
Why can't you come back and dance? |
[05:08.350] |
Please, Bojangles |
[05:16.350] |
Dance |
[05:20.350] |
Again, Bojangles |
