letra de mr. bojangles - steve earle
[verse 1]
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
[refrain 1]
he jumped so high
he jumped so high
and lightly touch down
[verse 2]
i met him in a cell in new orleans i was
down and out
he looked to me to be the very eyes of age
and he spoke right out
[refrain 2]
he talked of life
he talked of life
laugh-slapped his leg in step
[verse 3]
he said the name, “bojangles”, and he danced a l!ck
across the cell
he grabbed his pants, a better stance, and he jumped so high
and then he cl!cked his heels
[refrain 3]
he let go a laugh
let go a laugh
shook his clothes back all around
[chorus]
mr. bojangles
mr. bojangles
mr. bojangles
dance
[verse 4]
he’s danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
throughout the south
he spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him
they traveled about
[refrain 4]
his dog up and died
all up and died
after twenty years he still grieves
[verse 5]
he said, “i dance now at every chance in honky-tonks
“for drinks and tips
“but most of the time i spend behind these county bars
“’cause i drinks a bit”
[refrain 5]
he shook his head
as he shook his head
i heard someone ask, “please, please?
[chorus]
“mr. bojangles
“mr. bojangles
“mr. bojangles
“dance”
dance
