Testo Mr. Bojangles - Jerry Jeff Walker
Testo della canzone Mr. Bojangles (Jerry Jeff Walker), tratta dall'album Mr. Bojangles
I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you in worn out shoes
Silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants, the old soft shoe
He jumped so high, he jumped so high
Then he'd lightly touched down
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Dance
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, he talked of life
He lightly slapped his leg instead
He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick across the cell
He grabbed his pants for a better stance he jumped so high
He clicked his heels
He let go a laugh, he let go a laugh
Shook back his clothes all around
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Dance
He's danced for those at minstrel shows
And county fairs throughout the South
He spoke with tears of 15 years
How his dog and him they traveled about
His dog up and died, he 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 of the time I spend behind these county bars 'cause I drink a bit"
He shook his head and as he shook his head
I heard someone ask, "Please?
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Dance
I knew a man "Bojangles" and he'd dance for you
In worn out shoes
Silver hair, baggy pants, and ragged shirt
The old Soft Shoe
He jumped so high, he jumped so high
And then he'd lightly touch down
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Dance
That is a beautiful song, you wrote that?
(Yeah) whoa
