Mr. Bojangles - Harry Nilsson

Lyrics
words to study

I knew a man,

Bojangles,

and he'd dance for you

in worn out shoes,

with silver hair,

a ragged shirt,

and baggy pants.

the old soft shoe.

jump so high,

jump so high,

then he'd lightly touch down.

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

as he spoke right out,

talked of life, talked of life,

laughed, slapped his leg and stepped.

He said the name "Bojangles"

and he danced a lick

across the cell.

grabbed his pants,
