[00:19.68]I knew a man Bojangles And he'd dance for you
[00:25.77]In worn out shoes
[00:29.58]With silver hair a ragged shirtAnd baggy pants
[00:36.06]He would do the old soft shoe
[00:40.74]He would jump so high
[00:44.40]Jump so high
[00:48.54]Then he lightly touch down
[01:40.26]He told me of the time he worked with
[01:48.42]Minstrel shows travelling
[02:05.28]Throughout the south
[03:04.56]He spoke with tears of fifteen years
[03:07.59]How his dog and he
[03:10.95]They would travel about.
[03:14.97]But his dog up and died
[03:20.16]He up and died
[03:23.37]And after twenty years he still grieved
[03:29.97]He said "I dance now
[03:31.56]At every chance in the Honky Tonks
[03:35.79]For my drinks and tips
[03:40.38]But most the time I spend
[03:42.42]Behind these country bars
[03:46.86]You see on I drinks a bit"
[03:50.85]Then he shook his head
[03:53.31]Oh lord when he shook his head
[03:55.98]I could swear I heard someone say please
[04:06.00]Mister Bojangles
[04:07.77]Call him Mister Bojangles
[04:12.78]Mister Bojangles come back and dance please
[04:19.71]Come back and dance again Mr Bojangles
