_ [Ab] _ _ _ He would do the [Bb] old _ _ soft [Ab] shoe. _ _ _
He [Gm] would jump so [G] high, jump [Cm] so high.
_ [Eb] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ And then he'd lightly [Ab] _ _ touch _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ down.
_ [Eb] _ Told me of [Bb] the times he [Cm] worked with _ [Bb] minstrel shows.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] Traveling throughout the South, _ _ _
[Eb] spoke with [Bb] tears of fifteen years [Cm] how his _ _ [Bb] dog and he,

_ _ _ But his [Gm] dog up and died.

[Gm] He said, I dance [Cm] now at every _ _
[Gm] _ chance that [Ab] I'll get to. _
_ _ _ [Bb] All my drinks and tips.
_ [Eb] _ Most of the [Bb] time I [Cm] spend behind these [Bb] _
Kelly [Ab] bars. _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] You see, son, I drink a [Ab] bit. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ Then he shook [Bb] his [Cm] head. _ _ _ _
[A] Oh, _ when he shook [Ab] his head, _ _ [Bb] I could swear I [Ab] heard someone say, [Gm] please, please.
