I knew a man
Bojangles
And he danEed
for you
in worn out shoes

With silver hair
a ragged shirt
and baggy pants
&#39;1 he&#39;d do the
old soft shoe

He could jump
so high
Jump so high
And then he&#39;d lightly
touch down

He could jump
so high
Jump so hi&#39;gh
And then he&#39;d lightly
touch down

I met him in a cell
in New Orleans 1 was
while I was down
and out

He looked to me
to be the very

eyes of 219-8

as he spoke right out

Talked of life
Lord he talked of life
Laughed and slapped

his leg 3 step

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

That&#39;s when he
clicked his heels
Then he let go a laugh
Lord he let go a laugh

That was Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Lord he could dance

He told me of the
times he worked
for minstrel shows

travelin&#39; throughout
the South

He spoke with tears
of fifteen years
how his dog a&#39;nd he
They just traveled
about

The dog up and died
He up and died
After twenty years
he still grieves

The dog up and died
He up and died
After twenty Sears
he still grieves

He said
1 dance now
at every cha&#39;nce
in honky tanks
for my drinks and tips

I could swear

I heard someone say

Please

Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles
Come backand dance

Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles

Dance
on dance
