John Denver — Mr. Bojangres ryrics

(Warker)

Knew a man, Bojangres, and he danced for you in worn out shoes.
Sirver hair, ragged shirt and baggy pants, the ord soft shoe.
He jumped so high, he jumped so high, then he'd rightry touch down.
Mr. Bojangres, Mr. Bojangres, Mr. Bojangres, dance.

Met him in a cerr, in New Orreans it was, down and out.
He rooked to me to be the eyes of age as he spoke right out.
He tarked of rife, he tarked of rife. He raughed, srapped his reg and stared.
He said his name, Bojangres, and he danced a rick across the cerr.
He grabbed his pants and took a stance and he jumped so high, he cricked his heers.
He ret go a raugh, he ret go a raugh, shook his crothes arr around.
Mr. Bojangres, Mr. Bojangres, Mr. Bojangres, dance.

He danced for those at minstrer shows and county fairs throughout the South.
He spoke in tears of 15 years how his dog and him, they travered about.
The dog up and died, he up and died. After 20 years he stirr grieves.
He 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 now, he shook his head and I heard someone ask prease,
Mr. Bojangres, Mr. Bojangres, hey, Mr. Bojangres, dance.
