Oh I knew a man

Bojangles

And he'd dance for you

In worn out shoes

With silver hair

A ragged shirt

And baggy pants

The old soft shoe

He jump so high

He jump 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

He laughed slapped his leg and stepped

He spoke the name Bojangles

And he danced a lick

Across the cell

He grabbed his pants

A better stance

And wow he jumped so high

He clicked his heels

He let go a laugh

He let go a laugh

Shook back his clothes all around

Mr Bojangles

Mr Bojangles

Mr Bojangles

Dance

He danced with those at minstrel shows and county fairs

Throughout The South

He spoke with tears

Of fifteen years

Of how his dog and him

Traveled about

His dog up and died

His dog up and died

After twenty years he still greives

He said now I dance

Every chance at

Honkey-tonks

For drinks and tips

But most of time

I spend behind these country bars

Cause I drinks a bit

He shook his head

And as he shook his head

I heard someone ask please

Mr Bojangles

Mr Bojangles

Mr Bojangles

oh todays
