Karaoke Track: Mr. Bojangles by John Holt (Sunfly)

I knew a man Bojangles
and he danced for you

In worn out shoes

W ith silver hair

a ragged shirt
and baggy pants

The old soft shoes

He jumped so high,

jumped so high

Then he lightly

touched down

Imethhninacell

in New Orleans

I was down and out

He looked at me to

be the eyes of age

As he spoke

right out

He talked of life,

talked of life

Laughed and slapped

Ins legs a step

Nlister Bojangles

Mister Bojangles

dance

He said his name&#39;s

Bojangles then he
danced a lick

Across the cell

He grabbed his pants
a better stance
Oh how he jumped
up high

He clicked his heels

He let go of life,

let go of life

Shook back his

clothes all around

He danced With those

at minsirel Shows
and county fairs

Throughout the south

He spoke with tears
for fifteen years

Oh how he
talked did he

g

Travelled about

He dog 11p and died

dog up and died

After fifteen years

he still grieved

Nlister Bojangles

Mister Bojangles

dance

He said I dance
in every chance
in honky tonk

g

For drinks and tips

But most of the time
I Spend behind
these country bars

He said

I drinks a bit

He shook his head

and as he

shook his head

I heard someone

ask please

Nlister Bojangles

Mister Bojangles

dance
