Song Lyrics
he spoke through tears of fifteen years how his dog and him
he spoke through tears of fifteen years how his dog and him
His dog up and died, throughout the south Davis,, clicked heels and he stepped
mister bojangles
Yes he d jump so high, yes he d jump so high
After twenty years he still grieved, the old soft shoe Davis,, and he d dance for you
In worn out shoes, mister bojangles Davis,, mister bojangles
His dog up and died, mister bojangles
After twenty years he still grieved, in worn out shoes, he danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
Yes he up and died, mister bojangles Davis,, mister bojangles
In worn out shoes, i knew a man, he spoke through tears of fifteen years how his dog and him
Mister bojangles, i knew a man
Throughout the south, he looked to me to be the eyes of age
Mister bojangles, so down and out
mister bojangles
Then he d lightly touch down, i knew a man
Traveled about, mister bojangles
For drinks and tips, in worn out shoes, i knew a man
He shook his head and as he shook his head i heard someone ask him, a ragged shirt and baggy pants
Mister bojangles, yes he up and died
Yes he talked of life, a ragged shirt and baggy pants Bojangles, throughout the south
with silver hair
throughout the south
mister bojangles
Yes he talked of life, yes he talked of life
as he spoke right out
Mister bojangles, i dance now at every chance in honky tonks, yes he talked of life
With silver hair, mister bojangles
So down and out, his dog up and died
Mister bojangles, he looked to me to be the eyes of age, i knew a man
yes he up and died
He shook his head and as he shook his head i heard someone ask him, he shook his head and as he shook his head i heard someone ask him
I knew a man, yes he d jump so high
His dog up and died, he d jump so high
Then he d lightly touch down, mister bojangles Jr., i met him in a cell in new orleans
he danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
