I knew a man bojangles and he'd
Dance for you
In worn out shoes
Silver hair and ragged shirt and baggy pants
He did the old soft shoe
He jumped so high he jumped so high
Then he'd lightly touch down
Mr bojangles
Mr bojangles
Mr bojangles
Dance
I 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
Laughed
He slapped his leg a step
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
Dance
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 i spend behind these
County bars
Hell i drinks a bit
He shook his head and as he shook his head
I heard someone ask him please
Mr bojangles
Mr bojangles
Mr bojangles dance
