    MR Bojangles

    Uploaded by

    The song describes a man named Mr. Bojangles who was a dancer. He would dance in worn out shoes with silver hair and ragged clothes. The singer met Mr. Bojangles in a jail cell in New Orleans where Mr. Bojangles recounted stories of his life as a dancer who performed at minstrel shows and county fairs for many years along with his dog, until his dog passed away after 20 years. Now older, Mr. Bojangles still dances occasionally at honky tonks for drinks and tips, but often just stands behind the bar as he now drinks.
