I MET HIM IN A CELL IN NEW ORLEANS

I WAS DOWN AND OUT

HE LOOKED AT ME TO BE THE EYES OF AGE

AS HE SPOKE RIGHT OUT

HE TALKED OF LIFE TALKED OF LIFE

HE LAUGHED SLAPPED HIS LEG A STEP

HE SAID HIS NAME BOJANAGLES

THEN HE DANCED A LICK

ACROSS THE CELL

HE GRABBED HIS PANTS FOR A BETTER STANCE

THEN HE JUMPED SO HIGH

HE CLICKED HIS HEELS

THEN HE LET GO A LAUGH

LET GO A LAUGH

SHOOK BACK HIS CLOTHES ALL AROUND

HE DANCED FOR THOSE AT MINSTREL SHOWS

AND COUNTRY FAIRS

THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH

HE SPOKE WITH TEARS OF FIFTEEN YEARS

HOW HIS DOG AND HIM

TRAVELED ABOUT

THIS DOG UP AND DIED

AND AFTER TWENTY YEARS HE STILL GRIEVED

HE SAID I DANCE NOW AT EVERY CHANCE IN HONKY TONKS

FOR DRINKS AND TIPS BUT MOST THE TIME I SPEND

BEHIND THESE COUNTRY BARS
