Oops, found out more cos I am the curious type. Mr. Bojangles was actually written by Jerry Jeff Walker but sung by Dylan, Nina Simone, Bread and numerous others.
Interestingly enough, Mr. Bill "Bojangles" Robinson was a real person, born in 1878. He was a legendary black entertainer, a tap dancer, back in the early 1900's.
