I knew a man bojangles and hed dance for you In worn out shoes
Silver hair and ragged shirt and baggy pants
The old soft shoe
He jumped so high he jumped so high
Then he'd lightly touch down
Mr bojangles Mr bojangles Mr bojangles
met him in a cell in new orleans i was
down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes of age
As he spoke right out
He talked of life he talked of life
He laughed slapped his leg
a ste He said the name bojangles and he danced a lick
across the cell
He grabbed his pants a better stance then he jumped so high
He clicked his heels
He let go a laugh oh he let go a laugh
Shook back his clothes all around
Mr bojangles Mr bojangles Mr bojangles
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
throughout the south
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him
traveled about
His dog up and died he up and died
After twenty years he still grieves
He said i dance now at every chance in honky tonks
for drinks and tips
But most of the time spend behind these county bars
Hell drinks a bit
He shook his head and as he shook his head
heard someone ask him please
Mr bojangles Mr bojangles Mr bojangles
dance~
Mr bojangles Mr bojangles Mr bojangles
