Sammy Davis jr. - Mr. Bojangles
Robbie Williams - Mr. Bojangles door Eric
I knew a man Bojangles
And he'll 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 for 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 county bars
You see son I drinks a bit"
Then he shook his head
Oh lord when he shook his head
I could swear I heard somebody say please, please
That’s Mister Bojangles
Call him Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles come back and dance
Dance and dance, please dance
Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles
Come back and dance
And dance and dance, please dance
Come back and dance again Mr Bojangles
I knew a man Bojangles
And he'll 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 for fifteen years

They would travel about. But his dog up and died
He up and died
And after twenty years he still grieved

Call him Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles come back and dance
Dance and dance, please dance
Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles
Come back and dance
And dance and dance, please dance
Come back and dance again Mr Bojangles
