He said the name Bojangles then he danced a lick All across the cell He grabbed his pants for a better stance Oh, he jumped high and clicked his heels He let go laugh, yes, he let go laugh Shook back his clothes all around Ref. First solo (se tab) He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs Throughout the south Spoke with tears of fifteen years How his dog 'n him had just travelled all about And his dog up and died, he up and died and after twenty years he still grieves Ref. 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 He shook his head, and then he shook his head I heard someone ask him: "Please" Ref. Ending solo (David Bromberg)
