I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you
In worn out shoes
Silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants
The old soft shoe
He jumped so high, he jumped so high
Then he lightly touched down
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 the smoke ran out
He talked of life, he talked of life
He laughed, clicked his hills and step
He said his name, Bojangles, then he danced a lick
Across the cell
He grabbed his pants like Fred Astaire, for he jumped so high
Then 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 for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
Throughout the south
He spoke with tears of 15 years how his dog and he
Traveled about
The dog up and died, he up and died
After 20 years, he still grieved
He said, "I dance now at every chance in honky-tonks
For drinks and tips
But most of the time he spend behind his county bars
'Cause he said, "I drinks a bit"
He shook his head and as he shook his head
I heard someone ask him "Please?" (please)
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles, dance
In worn out shoes
Silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants
The old soft shoe
He jumped so high, he jumped so high
Then he lightly touched down
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 the smoke ran out
He talked of life, he talked of life
He laughed, clicked his hills and step
He said his name, Bojangles, then he danced a lick
Across the cell
He grabbed his pants like Fred Astaire, for he jumped so high
Then 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 for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
Throughout the south
He spoke with tears of 15 years how his dog and he
Traveled about
The dog up and died, he up and died
After 20 years, he still grieved
He said, "I dance now at every chance in honky-tonks
For drinks and tips
But most of the time he spend behind his county bars
'Cause he said, "I drinks a bit"
He shook his head and as he shook his head
I heard someone ask him "Please?" (please)
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles, dance
