Nitty Gritty Dirt Band: Mr. Bojangles

aus dem Album: Twenty Years Of Dirt

Songtext:
I knew a man bojangles and he'd dance for you, Weiße Klebefolie
In worn out shoes,
With silver hair, a ragged shirt, and baggy pants
The old soft shoe. Wuppertal Homepage erstellen
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 Neembaum

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, & he clicked his heels
He let go a laugh, let go a laugh, shook back his clothes all around Bastelanleitungen

He danced for those at minstrel shows & 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.

(chorus)

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

(chorus)
