Blues for Bojangles - Anita O'Day
Written by：Chuck Darwin
He was kind he was gentle
He was everybody's friend
And his feet were so sentimental
He was dancin' to the very end
Yes he danced his way to heaven
And the angels couldn't wait
He danced his way to heaven
And the angels couldn't wait
To see his command performance
Right inside those pearly gates
His smile was warm as April
As he went into his dance
His smile was warm as April
As he went into his dance
His heart was so full of goodness
That the devil didn't have a chance
Bojangles danced at the age of eight years old
And he danced at the age of seventy one;
That youngster never did grow old
'Cause his feet had so much fun
Got the blues for Bojangles
He was everybody's Bill;
He danced his way to heaven
And you can bet he's dancin' still
Bojangles
I knew a man BojanglesAnd he danced for youIn worn out shoesWith silver hair a ragged shirtAnd baggy pants the old soft shoeHe jumped so high he jumped so high...
