I understand that this song and video pictures do not match, and the song is not about Bill Robinson. Well I made a mistake by not researching the song, and I apologise if I have given you cause for concern.

  • As much as I love Bill Robinson and those pictures from the movies, that song has NOTHING to do with Bill Robinson. Listen to the song. Jerry Jeff Walker is singing about how he was thrown in jail one night in New Orleans. There was an older man in the cell who called himself "Mr Bojangles."

    Though this is a very good version, all the pictures about Bill Robisnosn simply perpetuate a misunderstanding. Again, listen to or read the words.

  • @bumblebeemoi1 Thank you for your input, but this type of comment has been made before. I made a mistake by not researching the song, and I apologise if I have given you cause concern.

  • Don't know what it is Alex,but you have a voice that gets to a person after a while and which was previously commented on here.Your version of Bojangles is as touching as it is listenable. Thanks for the rendition.

  • @crankbv1 You know, I never thought for one minute anyone would view my songs, I started putting songs onto YouTube because I needed room on my hard-drive. Now I have people such as yourself making such wonderful comments, it mad. I do have two songs that you might find of interest and I would most welcome your comments on them; St James infirmary blues and Georgia on my mind.

    Once again thank you for your comment.

    Alex.

  • Folks, I think we can all agree that dancing niggers are funny. Can we please leave it at that?

  • @TheBikercat That makes sense except that the writer said it was about a guy he met in the drunk tank in a New Orleans Jail.

  • @rington1 You have a fantasic, very haunting, soulful, touching voice, pal....Your voice cuts to the soul...You may think I am crazy but you should go on American Idol and sing Mr. Bojangles. Do it! This the BEST version of Mr. Bojangles I have ever heard...
