1
I knew a man, Bojangles and he danced for you
2
In worn out shoes
3
Silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants
4
The old soft shoe
5
He jumped so high
6
He jumped so high
7
Then he'd lightly touch down
8
I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was
9
Down and out
10
He looked to me to be the eyes of age
11
As he spoke right out
12
He talked of life
13
He talked of life
14
He laughed, clicked his heels and stepped
15
He said his name, Bojangles and he danced a lick
16
Across the cell
17
He grabbed his pants, a better stance
18
Oh, he jumped so high
19
Then he clicked his heels
20
He let go a laugh
21
He let go a laugh
22
Pushed back his clothes all around
23

24
Mr. Bojangles
25
Mr. Bojangles
26
Dance
27
He danced for those in minstrel shows and county fairs
28
Throughout the south
29
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him
30
Traveled about
31
The dog up and died
32
He up and died
33
After twenty years he still grieves
34
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks
35
For drinks and tips
36
But most the time I spend behind these county bars
37
He said I drinks a bit
38
He shook his head
39
And as he shook his head
40
I heard someone ask him please
41
Please
42
Mr. Bojangles
43
Mr. Bojangles
44
Mr. Bojangles
45
Dance
