Mr. Bojangles

In the style of

Neil Diamond

Lyrics

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
jumped so high

then he'd lightly touch down

i met him in a cell
in new orleans he 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

and stepped

mister bojangles

mister bojangles

mister bojangles dance

he said his name bojangles
and he danced a lick

across the cell

he grabbed his pants a better
stance and jumped so high

clicked his heels

he let go a laugh
let go a laugh

shook back his clothes
all around

he danced for those in minstrel
shows and county fairs

throughout the south

he spoke with tears of fifteen
years how his dog and he

and traveled about

his dog up and died
he up and died

after twenty years
he still grieves

mister bojangles

mister bojangles

mister bojangles dance

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

'cos i drinks a bit

he shook his head
and as he shook his head

i heard someone ask please

mister bojangles

mister bojangles

mister bojangles
go on and dance

lah lah lah lah lah
lah lah lah lah

lah lah lah lah lah lah ah
lah lah lah lah lah lah lah

lah lah lah lah lah lah
