Sammy Davis Jr. - Mr. Bojangles (1972 Berlin - Unicef Concert)

Prophet Samuel. Relay the King Saul's sword is like jubilee's Park abstracts surveyor's pushing for the mortgages placements .

I loved Dean and Frank, but Sam's voice was clear and crisp and filled with all of life's emotion❤❤❤s

„ Herr Bojangles „

Ich kannte einen Mann, Bojangles, und
Er würde für dich tanzen
In abgetragenen Schuhen, mit silbernen Haaren,
einem zerlumpten Hemd und weiten Hosen
Er würde „Der alte weiche Schuh“ machen
Er konnte so hoch springen
Spring so hoch
Und dann würde er sanft aufsetzen
_________________
Ich traf ihn in einer Zelle in New Orleans, in der ich war
Während ich am Boden lag und draußen war
Für mich wirkte er wie ein Augenzeuge des Alters
Als er es direkt aussprach
Vom Leben gesprochen, mmm
Herr, er hat vom Leben gesprochen, waha
_________________
Lachte, schlug sich aufs Bein und machte einen Schritt
Er sagte, sein Name sei „Bojangles“
Und er tanzte einen Lick quer durch die Zelle
Er packte seine Hose, nahm eine bessere Haltung ein,
sprang hoch
Da schlug er mit den Fersen zusammen
_________________
Dann ließ er ein Lachen los
Herr, er ließ ein Lachen los und schüttelte seine Kleidung zurück
Das war Mr. Bojangles
Herr Bojangles
Herr Bojangles
_________________
Herr, er konnte tanzen
Er erzählte mir von den Zeiten, als er in Minstrel-Shows mitwirkte,
Reisen durch den Süden
Er erzählte unter Tränen von fünfzehn Jahren, wie sein Hund und er
Sie reisen einfach überall herum
Aber sein Hund stand auf und starb
Hund aufgestanden und gestorben
_________________
Und nach zwanzig Jahren trauerte er immer noch
Er sagte: „Ich tanze jetzt und bei jeder Gelegenheit einen Honky-Tonk,
für meine Getränke und Trinkgelder“
„Für meine Getränke und Trinkgelder“
Aber die meiste Zeit verbringe ich hinter diesen Bezirkskneipen
„Sehen Sie, mein Sohn, ich trinke ein bisschen.“
Dann hat er seinen Kopf
Herr, wenn er den Kopf verliert
Ich könnte schwören, dass ich jemanden sagen hörte: „Bitte“
_________________
Herr Bojangles
Ein Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles, „Komm zurück und tanze“
Tanzen
Tanzen
Bitte tanzen Sie
Komm und tanze jetzt
Ein Mr. Bojangles
Herr Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles, tanzen Sie
_________________
Warum kannst du nicht zurückkommen und tanzen?
Bitte, Bojangles
Hmmmm, tanzen
Wieder Bojangles

😍😍💓💓👋👋 😍😍💓💓👋👋
„ Mr. Bojangles „

I knew a man, Bojangles, and
He'd dance for you
In worn out shoes, with silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants
He would do 'The old soft shoe'
He could jump so high
Jump so high
And then he'd lightly, touch down
_________________
I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was
While I was down and out
He looked to me to be the very eyes of age
As he spoke right out
Talked of life, mmm
Lord he talked of life, whaha
_________________
Laughed, slapped his leg and stepped
He said his name was "Bojangles"
And he danced a lick right across the cell
He grabbed his pants, took a better stance,
jumped up high
That's when he clicked his heels
_________________
Then he let go a laugh
Lord he let go a laugh, shook back his clothes all aroud
That was Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
_________________
Lord, he could dance
He told me of the times he worked in Minstrel shows,
travelling around the South
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and he
They just travel all about
But his dog up and died
Dog up and died
_________________
And after twenty years he still grieved
He said "I dance now and every chance a Honky-Tonk,
for my drinks and tips"
"For my drinks and tips"
But most of the time I spend behind these county bars
"You see son, I drinks a bit"
Then he his head
Lord, when he shis head
I could swear I heard someone say: "Please"
_________________
Mr. Bojangles
A Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles, "Come back and dance"
Dance
Dance
Please, dance
Come on and dance now
A Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles, dance
_________________
Why can't you come back and dance?
Please, Bojangles
Hmmmm, dance
Again Bojangles

Spanisch
„ Sr. Bojangles „

Conocí a un hombre, Bojangles, y
el bailaria para ti
Con zapatos desgastados, con cabello plateado,
una camisa andrajosa y pantalones anchos.
Haría 'El viejo zapato blando'
Podía saltar tan alto
salta tan alto
Y luego, suavemente, aterrizaría
_________________
Lo conocí en una celda en Nueva Orleans.
Mientras yo estaba abajo y fuera
Me miró como los mismos ojos de la edad.
Mientras hablaba directamente
Hablé de la vida, mmm
Señor, habló de la vida, ¿qué?
_________________
Se rió, se golpeó la pierna y dio un paso
Dijo que su nombre era "Bojangles"
Y bailó una lamida a través de la celda
Agarró sus pantalones, tomó una mejor postura,
saltó alto
Fue entonces cuando hizo clic en sus talones
_________________
Luego soltó una carcajada.
Señor, soltó una carcajada, sacudió su ropa por todas partes
Ese fue el Sr. Bojangles
Sr. Bojangles
Sr. Bojangles
_________________
Señor, él podría bailar
Me contó de las veces que trabajó en espectáculos de Minstrel,
viajando por el sur
Habló con lágrimas de quince años cómo su perro y él
Simplemente viajan por todas partes
Pero su perro se levantó y murió.
Perro arriba y muerto
_________________
Y después de veinte años todavía se afligía
Él dijo: "Bailo ahora y cada vez que puedo un Honky-Tonk,
por mis tragos y propinas"
"Para mis tragos y propinas"
Pero la mayor parte del tiempo lo paso detrás de las rejas del condado
"Ya ves hijo, bebo un poco"
Entonces él su cabeza
Señor, cuando su cabeza
Podría jurar que escuché a alguien decir: "Por favor"
_________________
Sr. Bojangles
Un Sr. Bojangles
Sr. Bojangles, "Vuelve y baila"
Bailar
Bailar
por favor, baila
Ven y baila ahora
Un Sr. Bojangles
Sr. Bojangles
Sr. Bojangles, baile
_________________
¿Por qué no puedes volver y bailar?
Por favor, Bojangles
Hmmmm, baila
otra vez bojangles

Simply Incrable

The feeling in his voice brought out the song to life as he sang it. Watching him sing and dance to it. RIP Sammy Davis JR!

PURE TALENT AND CLASS.

Quite simply, the greatest entertainer the world has seen. Unmatched and probably never will be!

I often wonder why, English, Dutch, Spanish, Chinese, Italian, Greek, Irish - all colonised many Countries around the globe including Australia, Canada, all of South America, Polynesia, Africa and America. Yet racism of black vs white - still is only an issue of the highest degree in America, yet all those are guests except the Indigenous. Bizarre!

I remember hearing of Sammy's passsing while in my Connecticut office. I just sat there and tears rushed down my face. More class in his little finger than all the celebrities of today combined. RIP Sammy.

I love his voice there is nothing fake in it
An they should give his band more credit it is amezing

Because its good!!!

Supreme talent..❤️

Nothing and nobody will or ever come close to him, just magic

I.met him at a charity event .he was very nice
AND ONE TIME I DELIVER MAIL TO HIS HOUSE. I LOVED HIS MUSIC

Me too

Master of his craft...never be another Sammy....

he loved Elvis and the feeling was mutual

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

“Sammy “ was a magnificent club entertainer one of the greatest entertainer of the 20th CENTURY ❤

My boys in Tampa used to play Bojangles in reggae for me

A legend doing what he loves the most.

If that's the son, imagine how good the father will be!!! 🙂

I can't begin to say how amazing this is... and he was - a gift forever for all of us; LEGEND! thank you Mr Davis Jr... thank you!

The man could sing !! 😎

Bread did a poignant song called 'Guitar Man.' It's a similar idea. An entertainer whose career is fading out.

Those times when the audience was still permitted to have their elbows on stage...

This is my favorite version of this song. I keep watching this same video, over and over and over. Thank you, Sammy!

Ironically, he once said in an interview that his greatest fear was ending up just like Bill "Bojangles" Robinson who died in poverty.
Ed Sullivan paid for Bill Robinson's funeral and hundreds of thousands of people came to it. "Mr Bojangles" may have died in poverty, but he was rich in all the love directed towards him. I love his movies.

💜💜💜

Frank Sinatras pet nigga

GOT TEARS WHENEVER I LISTEN TO IT .......

No one sings this like Sammy
Composition. Walker said he was inspired to write the song after an encounter with a street performer in a New Orleans jail. While in jail for public intoxication in 1965, he met a homeless man who called himself "Mr. Bojangles" to conceal his true identity from the police.

Mother in heaven, what a genius ,voice from the gods.🙏🏽✊🏾

Is this performance available on DVD anywhere?

Dang, I love his voice.

It is not his song dear all . It is Jerry Jeff Walker's song ! Said that , RIP Sammy , we love you forever and you made this masterpiece fly with your magical voice . RIP Jerry Jeff Walker . RIP and sing in heaven both , if there is one somewhere above the skies of New Orleans ! ♥ cause sometimes we cry for you , just like now, and we are all a bit Bojangles ..... ♥

What a total talent Sammy was. This is such a beautiful interpretation. To me this song has an Americana-Steven Foster-Mark-Twain-Riverboat-era quality about it.

One of the best male performers of the 20th Century. Sammy Davis Jr knew how to deliver a song like no one could. If this song doesn't move you, nothing well! Incredible......

Powerful

天才エンターテインメント・さいこうやなあ～！！！Sammy Davis Jr.

Amazing talent
