It makes me feel about loss. It brings up regrets. It makes me recogize myself in Mr. Bojangles. I feel like I'm 13 again....and I miss my dog.

In his autobiography, Walker dispelled the urban legend that the song did not refer to the famous stage and movie dancer Bill “Bojangles” Robinson.

It's actually about a homeless street performer who he met while the writer Jerry Jeff Walker was in jail for public drunkenness. (Also a white homeless man, not that it matters much)

Memories of falling in love and waltzing to this song.

Too bad their Smothers Brothers performance of this tune is not here. That was a good one. Who ever played the mandolin was dressed as a R.C.M. in red uniform and all.
