Mr. Bojangles (With Prologue) 歌詞
Mr. Bojangles (With Prologue) - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
I knew a man bojangles
And he'd dance for you
In worn out shoes
With silver hair a ragged shirt
And baggy pants
The old soft shoe
He jumped so high jumped so high
Then he'd lightly touch down
I met him in a cell in new orleans
I was down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes
Of age as he spoke right out
He talked of life talked of life
He laughed slapped his leg a step
He said his name "bojangles"
Then he danced a lick across the cell
He grabbed his pants
A better stance
O he jumped so hi
And he clicked his heels
He let go a laugh let go a laugh
Shook back his clothes all around
Mr bojangles
Mr bojangles
Mr bojangles
Dance
He danced for those
At minstrel shows and county fairs
Throughout the south
He spoke with tears of 15 years
How his dog and him traveled about
His dog up and died up and died
After 20 years he still grieves
He said i dance now at every chance
In honky tonks for drinks and tips
But most the time i spend
Behind these county bars
Cause i drinks a bit
He shook his head
And as he shook his head
I heard someone ask him please
Please
Mr bojangles
Mr bojangles
Mr bojangles
Dance
