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'd lightly touch 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 he spoke right out
He talked of life He talked of life He laughed, clicked his heels and stepped
He said his name, Bojangles and he danced a lick Across the cell He grabbed his pants, a better stance Oh, he jumped so high Then he clicked his heels
He let go a laugh He let go a laugh Pushed back his clothes all around
Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles Dance
He danced for those in minstrel shows and county fairs Throughout the south He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him Traveled about The 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 drinks and tips But most the time I spend behind these county bars He said, "I drinks a bit."
He shook his head And as he shook his head I heard someone ask him please Please
