Testi

[Verse 1]
I knew a man, Bojangles, and he danced for you
In worn out shoes
With silver hair, a ragged shirt, and baggy pants
He would do the old soft shoe
He could jump so high, jump so high
And then he'd lightly touch down
[Verse 2]
I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was
Well, I was down and out
He looked to me to be the very eyes of age
As he spoke right out
He talked of life, Lord, he talked of life
Laughed, slapped his leg a step
[Verse 3]
He said his name was Bojangles, then he danced a lick
Right across the cell
He grabbed his pants, took a better stance, jumped up high
That's when he clicked his heels
Then he let go a laugh, Lord, he let go a laugh
Shook back his clothes all around
[Verse 4]
That was Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Lord, he could dance
[Verse 5]
We told me of the times he worked for minstrel shows
Traveling throughout the South
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and he
They just travelled about
But his dog up and died, dog up and died
And after twenty years, he still grieved
[Verse 6]
He said I danced now at every chance in honky-tonks
For my drinks and tips
But most the time I spend behind these county bars
You see son, I drinks a bit
Then he shook his head, Lord, when he shook his head
I could swear I hear someone say please
[Verse 7]
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Come back and dance, dance, dance, please, dance
[Verse 8]
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Dance, why can't you come back and dance?
Please, Bojangles, mmm, dance
Again, Bojangles
