Nina Simone- Mr Bojangles + Lyrics

[LoneWolf1234556]

she dies when i waz 3 ='d i feel so bad not knowing her!!

[legoscorpion5]

My dogs name was Mr. Bojangles from this song. I miss you Bobo and hope you can find your way home if your ok! And i hope your not lost forever in those woods! come back home Bobo! We miss you

[LoneWolf1234556]

@legoscorpion5 it been 3 months.. =d Have u found your dog yet??

[legoscorpion5]

@LoneWolf1234556 Thank you for carring, and yes, we found him. Surprisingly that dog survived a month alone before someone got him, they had him awhile before they turned him into a shelter, so a month alone, two months at shelters was almost 3 months exactly. :]

[LoneWolf1234556]

@legoscorpion5 Thats very good =] I would hate it if my dog was lost. =]

[donnscottshetler]

Very copasetic. a word that is often credited to Bill Robinson who is the person

about whom this song is written "Mr Bojangles," was his stage name

Great rendition from Nina.

[melbournaut]

I love this version.

[richardwa2]

I lost the LP with this song on it down the back of a radiator 25 years ago and never got it out again until it was all hot and crinkled, and never heard it again until today, and if this disc was on a desert island, and you stuck there with it, then damn me if that ole island wouldn't up and float you all the way back home, and just for your having played it.

Dedicated to; Rain B , who I know can find the silver lining in every cloud!

[dnoyman]

One piece of magical perfection,and it dosent matter how many times i heard it, it touches me very deep inside every time as if it was the first time thanks for that

[MizRoxy2005]

I have always loved Nina Simone who sits right at the top of my my list of favourites entertainers, and I love her version of Mr.Bojangles.

However, let's not forget the also amazing version of this song by the late, great, Sammy Davis, Jr. Boy - Nina & Sammy - hopefully singing Mr. Bojangles together in Jazz Heaven.

[Morphism1]

I Loved this Song forever , So sad but Sweetly Sung by The Icon Nina BEAUTIFUL .. This is the Definitive Version of this Song thats what happens when Ms. Simone puts her stamp on a Song .

[Xelanderthomas]

I couldn't agree more!

[buzzbrr34]

[mrconcept]

[03jenj51947]

am not so young and only recently discovered Nina simone---fantastic .

love her voice so much!!

[justinpwns123]

im singing this  on at my school play !!

[AccessibleScience]

Such an awesome song, however, not many of my fellow pupils would agree as they don't care for beautiful music like this

[aSTAR4u]

grew up on this song and always cried

[thankGodforDavidG]

yu kno, what Nina is so beautifully expressin ( and I'm a man that is now gettin it ) is the basic differentiation between man and woman, man loves to conquer, the reason most wars started by men, whereas women love to nurture and mother, the reason most familes started by women. As the balance of power shifts, we will see a more peaceful world and better communication between nations !

[stagehandbob]

@thankGodforDavidG You are a moron! A man hating lesbo of the worst kind. Its because of people like you the world is divided racist sexist and you are the worst waste of life and matter that nature has created! A stunted piece of worm meat is all your worth!

[whathuhwhere]

but he's a man....(and using anti-gay language)

[Ghostorchid2]

Such a beautiful song..."I met him in a cell in New Orleans...I was down and out..

Perfection...

[sawleo]

NINA SIMONE - tells the story with such love, delicacy, gentility...

Yes, Ghostorchid2 - "I met him in a cell in New Orleans...I was down and out...Perfection... such a sophisticated flow.

[Xelanderthomas]

Yep, of all the great people to have recorded this song, this is one where I feel I really understand it. When she sings his dog up and died, I cry...I can just see this poor guy grieving after 20 years.

[MizRoxy2005]

@Xelanderthomas - check also Sammy Davis Jr. Version of this song. Both Nina & Sammy do amazing and heart-felt renditions..

[iriewaregl]

@Ghostorchid2 yes ... perfection ... maybe I should write a song bout that place :)

[Ghostorchid2]

@iriewaregl I'm sure you could :)

[vanessalynn82]
