Lyrics
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 show 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 at 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 a step Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles, dance ! He said his name, Bojangles, then he danced a lick across the cell He grabbed his pants a better stance, oh, he jumped up 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 throws at minstrel shows And county fairs Through out the south He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him Had 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 drink and tips But most of the time I spend behind these county bars 'Cause I drinks a bit" He shook his head and as he shook his head I heard someone ask him "Please" "Please" "Come back and dance, dance, dance, please dance"
