ฟังเพลงMr. Bojangles (Alternate Take - 1970)

Mr. Bojangles - John Denver

Knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you

In worn out shoes

Silver hair, ragged shirt and baggy pants

The old soft shoe

He jumped so high, he jumps so high

Then he'd lightly touch down

Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles dance

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,

he spoke right out

He talked about life, he talked about life

He laughed, slapped his leg and stepped

He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick

Across the cell

He grabbed his pants and took

a stance and he jumped so high

He clicked his heels

He let go a laugh, he let go a laugh

Shook his clothes all around

Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles dance

He danced for those at minstrel

shows and county fairs

Throughout the South

And he spoke in tears of 15 years

how his dog and him

They traveled about

The dog up and died he up and died

after 20 years he still grieves

He said I dance now at every

chance and honky tonks

For drinks and tips

But most the time I spend

behind these county bars

'Cause I drink a bit

And he shook his head now

he shook his head

And I heard someone ask please

Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles dance
