Píseň: Mr. Bojangles

Robbie Williams
Album:
Swing When You´re Winning
I knew a man Bojangles
And he'd dance for you
In worn out shoes


With silver hair a ragged shirt
And baggy pants
He would do the old soft shoe


He would jump so high
Jump so high
Then he lightly touch down


He told me of the time he worked with
Minstrel shows travelling
Throughout the south


He spoke with tears of fifteen years
How his dog and he
They would travel about.


But his dog up and died
He up and died
And after twenty years he still grieved


He said "I dance now
At every chance in the Honky Tonks
For my drinks and tips


But most the time I spend
Behind these country bars
You see on I drinks a bit"


Then he shook his head
Oh lord when he shook his head
I could swear I heard someone say please


Mister Bojangles
Call him Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles come back and dance please


Come back and dance again Mr Bojangles
