Genre * 1974/Reggae/Male Vocal
Producer * A. Pastor
=======================================================
I knew a man Bo-jang-les
And he danced for you
In worn out shoes
With sil-ver hair, a rag-ged shirt
And bag-gy pants, the old soft shoe
He jumped so high, jumped so high-.-.
Then he light-ly touch-ed down
I met him in a cell in New O-or-leans
I was down and out
He looked at me to be the eyes of age
As he spoke right out
He talked of life, he talked of life-...
He laughed, slapped his leg a step
M-r. Bo-jang-les, M-r. Bo-jang-les
M-r. Bo-jang-les, dance!
He said his name, Bo-jang-les
And he danced a lick a-cross the cell
He grabbed his pants
in fette-red stance
Oh, how he jumped up high
He clicked his heels
He let go a laugh, let go a laugh-.-.
Shook back his clothes all a-round
He danced for those
At minst-rel shows and coun-ty fairs
Through-out the south
He spoke with tears of 1-5 years Oh,
How his dog and him tra-veled a-bout
His dog up and died, he up and died-.-.
Af-ter 1-5 years he still grieves
M-r. Bo-jang-les, M-r. Bo-jang-les
M-r. Bo-jang-les, dance!
He said I dance
At eve-ry chance in hon-ky tonks
For drink and tips
But most of the time
I spend be-hind these coun-ty bars
He said I drinks a bit
He shook his head
And as he shook his head-.-.
I heard some-one ask-.-.
Please
M-r. Bo-jang-les, M-r. Bo-jang-les
M-r. Bo-jang-les, dance!
