He told me of the time he worked with Minstrel shows

Travelling throughout the south

How his dog and he, they would travel about.

But his dog up and died, he up and died

And after twenty years he still grieved

EmMister BojaDngles come back and dGance and dBmance

 And Emdance please dance

He said "I dance now

At every chance in the Honky Tonks

For my drinks and tips

But most the time I spend

Behind these country bars

You see on I drinks a bit"

Then he shook his head

Oh lord when he shook his head

I could swear I heard someone say please
