nitty gritty dirt band – Mr. Bojangles Lyrics

Artist: nitty gritty dirt band
Song: Mr. Bojangles

I knew a man Bojangles And he’d dance for you
In worn out shoes
With silver hair a ragged shirtAnd baggy pants
He would do the old soft shoe

He would jump so high
Jump so high
Then he lightly touch 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

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
Mister Bojangles
Call him Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles come back and dance please

Come back and dance again Mr Bojangles
