Bob Dylan did NOT write this song.
It was written by Jerry Jeff Walker, who Ive asked to be added to the artists list. JJ Walker also performed it originally, and then the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band made a hit out of it, as did Neil Diamond and Sammy Davis Jr.
I love Nina Simone's version, but yes, it has no place on a Bob Dylan 'Song Meanings' list.
Bob Dylan did cover it though. It says at the bottom "Mr. Bojangles" as written by Jerry Jeff Walker.
Yes, he did - and I love Bob but his cover is terrible. But it didn't say that when I wrote the comment in 2005 ;)
