lknew a man Bojangles

and he danced for you
In worn out shoes
With silver hair

He couldjump so high

jump so high
He would do the
old soft shoe

He couldjump so high

jump so high
And then he'd
lightlytouch down

I met him in a cell
in New Orleans I was

And then he'd

lightlytouch down

I met him in a cell
in New Orleans I was

Well I was down and out

He looked to me

to be the very eyes of age

in New Orleans I was
Well I was down and out
He looked to me

to be the very eyes of age

As he spoke right out
Talked of life
He looked to me

to be the very eyes of age

As he spoke right out

Talked of life
Lord he talked of life

Laughed and slapped

his leg and stepped

Talked of life
Lord he talked of life

Laughed and slapped

his leg and stepped
He said his name
was Bojangles

And he danced a lick
Right across the cell
He said his name

was Bojangles

And he danced a lick
Right across the cell

He grabbed his pants

was Bojangles

Jumped up high
That's when he

clicked his heels

and took a better stance

Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles

That was Mr. Bojangles

He told me often times

But his dog up and died

of fifteen years
how his dog and him
Theyjust traveled about

But his dog up and died

dog up and died
how his dog and him
Theyjust traveled about

But his dog up and died
dog up and died

And after twenty years

he still grieves

He said I dance now
at every chance

And after twenty years

he still grieves

But most the time
at every chance
In honkytonks

For my drinks and tips

Then he shook his head
Lord he shook his head

these county bars

You see son I drinks a bit

Then he shook his head
Lord he shook his head
I could swear

I heard someone say please
