Guy Chambers - Mr. Bojangles lyrics

I knew a man Bojangles And he'll dance for you In worn out shoes With silver hair and ragged shirt, baggy pants He would do the old soft shoe He would jump so high Jump so high Then he'd lightly touch down Told me of the time He worked with, with minstrel shows Traveling throughout the south Spoke with tears for fifteen years How his, how his dog and he They would travel about But his dog up and died Got up and died After twenty years he still grieves He said 'I dance now At every chance in honky-tonks For my drinks and tips But most the time I, I spend behind these country bars You see son I drinks a bit' Then he shook his head Oh Lord, when he shook his head I can swear I heard somebody saying please, please That's Mister Bojangles Calling Mister Bojangles Mister Bojangles, come back and dance and dance And dance, please, dance Mister Bojangles Mister Bojangles Mister Bojangles, come back and dance and dance And dance, please, dance Come back and dance again, Mister Bojangles
