Текст песни Mr Bojangles

I knew a man Bojangles

And he'd dance 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 touch 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

He spoke right out

He talked of life, he talked of life

He laughed, slapped his leggings down

He said the name Bojangles

And he danced a bit

Across the cell

He grabbed his pants

For a better stance

Oh, he jumped so highBobby Cole - Mr Bojangles - http://ru.motolyrics.com/bobby-cole/mr-bojangles-lyrics.html

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 danced for those at

Minstrel shows and county fairs

Throughout the south

He spoke with tears of fifteen years

How his dog and him traveled about

His dog up and died

Lord, he up and died

After twenty years, he still grieves

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 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
