'Née de la rencontre de Jerry Jeff Walker avec un danseur de claquettes clochardisé, alcoolique dans une prison de la Nouvelle Orléans en 1965, il se faisait appeler Mr Bojangles pour cacher son identité en référence à un autre danseur Bill Robinson, dont c’était également le surnom!" Laurent Valero

"Mr Bojangles raconte l’histoire de cet échange en forme de discussion à propos de choses et d’autres, avec cet homme et notamment de la triste histoire de la mort de son chien, qui l’accompagnait partout lorsque Jerry Jeff Walker dansait dans les Honky Tonks, ces bars du sud des États-Unis où se produisaient danseurs et musiciens." Laurent Valero, musicien, producteur ...

I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you
In worn out shoes
With silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants
The old soft shoe ...

Live 1969, Jerry Jeff Walker ...

He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick
Across the cell
He grabbed his pants for a better stance
Ooh, he jumped so high
He clicked his heels ...

... We danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
Throughout the south
We spoke in tears of fifteen years
How his dog and him
They travelled about

His dog up and died
He up and died
After twenty years he still grieves

They said I dance now at every chance and honky tonks
For drinks and tips
But most the time I spend behind these county bars
'Cause I drinks a bit

He shook his head and as he shook his head
I heard someone ask please Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Dance !
