Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's, "Mr. Bojangles"
The Lyrics:
He danced for throws at minstrel shows and county fairs
Through out the south
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him
Had traveled about
His dog up and died, he up and died
After twenty years he still grieves.
Through out the south
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him
Had traveled about
His dog up and died, he up and died
After twenty years he still grieves.
Why:
The NGDB version was rather upbeat, while Sammy Davis, Jr.'s rendition retained some poignancy.
