歌词
我认识一个叫做伯强格斯的人，他会穿着报废的鞋子为你跳舞
I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you in worn out shoes
银色的头发，褴褛的衬衫，松垮的长裤，那双老旧柔软的鞋
Silver hair, ragged shirt and baggy pants, that old soft shoe
他会跳的很高，很高，然后轻快地下踮触地
He'd jump so high, he'd jump so high, then he lightly touched down
伯强格斯先生，伯强格斯先生，跳吧
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance.
我在新奥尔良的监狱里碰到他，那时我穷困潦倒
他滔滔不绝，指望我成为时代之眼
I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was down and out
他谈论生活，谈论生活，大笑着拍他那僵老的腿
He looked to me to be the eyes of age as he spoke right out
伯强格斯先生，伯强格斯先生，跳吧
He talked of life, he talked of life, laughing slapped his leg stale
他叫着伯强格斯的名字，轻快地舞遍整个牢房
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance.
他揪起长裤，舞姿愈发动人，他跳得多么高啊，脚后跟
踢踏作响
He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick all across the cell
他开怀大笑，他放肆大笑，衣裾翻飞翩跹
He grabbed his pants for a better stance, oh he jumped so high and he clicked
伯强格斯先生，伯强格斯先生，跳吧，嘿，跳吧
up his heels
他在黑人表演团（由白人扮演黑人）的演出上跳舞，在乡村集市上跳舞，遍及南方
He let go laugh, he let go laugh, shook back his clothes all around
他含泪叙说着十五年来，他的狗和他是如何四处流浪
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance, yeah, dance.
他的狗突然死去，他悲痛欲绝，二十年后他仍悲痛不止
伯强格斯先生，伯强格斯先生，跳吧
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs throughtout the south
我现在抓住所有机会，在廉价酒吧里跳舞，只要有酒和小费，他说，
He spoke with tears of 15 years of how his dog and him but just travelled all about
但大多数时候，我都在这些乡村酒吧的屋后过夜，因为我酒量太小了
His dog up and died, he up and died, and after 20 years he still grieves
他摇头晃脑，是的，他摇头晃脑，我听见有人请求他，
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance.
伯强格斯先生，伯强格斯先生，跳吧！跳吧！伯强格斯先生，跳吧！
He said I dance now at every chance at honky-tonks for drinks and tips
But most of the time I spend behind these county bars, cause I drink so bit
He shook his head, yes he shook his head, I heard someone ask him, please,
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance, dance, Mr Bojangles, dance.
