Karaoke Track: Mr Bojangles by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (Music Maestro) - Karaoke Nerds

I knew a man Bojangles
and he danced for you

in worn-out shoes

The old soft shoe

He jumped so high

lmet him in a cell

in New Orleans

I was down and out

He looked to me to be

the eyes of age as

I was down and out

He said his name
Bojangles and he danced

a lick across the cell

He let go a laugh

He let go a laugh

Shook back his

clothes all around

Shook back his

clothes all around

Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles dance

Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles dance

He danced for those at
minstrel shows in county

fairs throughout

the South

The dog up and died
He up and died

After twenty years

he still grieves l

After twenty years

he still grieves

He said I dance now at
every chance in honky

tonks for drinks and tips

He shook his head and as
he shook his head I heard

someone ask him please

Please

Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles dance
