00:11Let a man go jackass, happy dance for you, in worn-out shoes, silver hair, a ragged shirt, bangy pants,
00:31he would do the old soft shoe, he could jump so hard, he'd jump so hard, then he'd lightly go
00:48short.
00:54I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was, while I was down and out, he looked to
01:07me to be the very eyes of eight.
01:13As he spoke right up, he talked to life, oh, he talked to life, slapped his leg a step.
01:37He said his name was Bojangles, and he danced a lick, right across the cell, grabbed his pants, took a
01:51better stance, jumped up high,
01:57and then he clicked his heels, let go and laughed, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
02:07ha.
02:07Oh, he let go and laughed, shook back his clothes all around.
02:20That was Mr. Goldjangles
02:27Mr. Goldjangles
02:31Mr. Goldjangles
02:37Lord, he could dance
02:45He told me of the times he worked in a ministry show
02:53Traveling around the sun
02:57Spoken tears of fifteen years
03:00That's how he's gone again
03:04They were trouble alone
03:11But he's gone up and down
03:15Just up and down
03:19About twenty years
03:21He said, I'd dance now with the Jets and Hockey Cucks
03:34For my drinks and tips
03:39For most of the time I spent behind these county bars
03:46See some
03:47And drinks
03:53And he shook his head
03:56What?
03:58As he shook his head
04:01I could swear I would so much say
04:04Please
