CROCE, JIM - MR. BOJANGLES

Probably not perfect as I don't have much time but it works...

VERSE

knew a man

Bojangles

And he'll

dance for you

In worn out sho

With silver hair and

ragged shirt

baggy pants

He would do the old soft

shoe

Bridge

He would jump s

o high

Jump so h

i-i

Then he lightly touched

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

Chorus

That's mister

Bojangles

Calling mister B

ojangles

Mister Boja

ngles come back and d

ance and d

ance

And

dance please dance

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

Chorus

That's mister

Bojangles

Calling mister B

ojangles

Mister Boja

ngles come back and d

ance and d

ance

And

dance please dance
