Mr. Bojangles (Remastered) (Remaster) 歌詞

 

I knew a man Bojangles

And he danced for you

In worn out shoes

 

With silver hair a ragged shirt

And baggy pants the old soft shoe

 

He jumped so high he jumped so high

 

Then he lightly touched down

 

I met him in a cell 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 he talked of life

 

He laughed and slapped his leg a step

 

Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles

 

Mr Bojangles dance

 

He said his name Bojangles

Then he danced a lick across the cell

 

He grabbed his pants

A better stance

Oh he jumped up high

 

He clicked his heels

 

He let go a laugh he let go a laugh

 

Shook back his clothes all around

 

He danced for those

At minstrel shows and county fairs

 

Throughout the south

 

He spoke with tears of 15 years

How his dog and he traveled about

 

His dog up and died he up and died

 

After 20 years he still grieves

 

Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles

Mr Bojangles dance

 

He said I dance now

At every chance in honky tonks

 

For drinks and tips

 

But most of the time

I spend behind these county bars

He said I drinks a bit

 

He shook his head

And as he shook his head

I heard someone respectfully ask

Please

 

Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles

 

Mr Bojangles dance
