(1968) Jerry Jeff Walker I knew a man BojanglesAlways danced with worn out shoesThe silver hair, a ragged shirtAnd bare ragged paintsThe old soft shoe( )He jumps so highHe jumps so high andThen he lightly touches downi met him in a New orleans cafЁЁHe was down and out____________I knew a man, Bojangles, and he danced for youin worn out shoes.With silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants,the old soft shoe.He jumped so high, jumped so high, then he lightly touched down.I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I wasso down and out.He looked at me to be the eyes of age,as he spoke right out.He talked of life, he talked of life. He laughed, clicked heels instead.Mister BojanglesMister BojanglesMister Bojangles,dance!He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairsthroughout the South.He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and hetraveled about.His dog up and died, dog up and died, after twentyyears he still grieved.He said, I dance now at every chance in honky tonks
