1
I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you in worn out shoes
2
Silver hair, ragged shirt and baggy pants, that old soft shoe
3
He'd jump so high, he'd jump so high, then he lightly touched down
4
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance.
5
I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was down and out
6
He looked to me to be the eyes of age as he spoke right out
7
He talked of life, he talked of life, laughing slapped his leg stale
8
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance.
9
He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick all across the cell
10
He grabbed his pants for a better stance, oh he jumped so high and he clicked
11
up his heels
12
He let go laugh, he let go laugh, shook back his clothes all around
13
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance, yeah, dance.
14
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs throughout the south
15
He spoke with tears of 15 years of how his dog and him but just travelled all about
16
His dog up and died, he up and died, and after 20 years he still grieves
17
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance.
18
He said I dance now at every chance at honky-tonks for drinks and tips
19
But most of the time I spend behind these county bars, cause I drink so bit
20
He shook his head, yes he shook his head, I heard someone ask him, please,
21
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance, dance, Mr Bojangles, dance.
