I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you[00:00:04]
In worn out shoes[00:00:10]
Silver hair a ragged shirt and baggy pants[00:00:14]
The old soft shoe[00:00:19]
He jumped so high jumped so high[00:00:24]
Then he'd lightly touch down[00:00:31]
I met him in a cell in New Orleans[00:00:37]
I was down and out[00:00:39]
He looked to me to be the eyes of age[00:00:46]
As he spoke right out[00:00:52]
He talked of life talked of life he laughed[00:00:57]
Slapped his leg a step[00:01:04]
He said his name Bojangles[00:01:10]
Then he danced a lick across the cell[00:01:11]
He grabbed his pants a better stance[00:01:19]
O he jumped so high he clicked his heels[00:01:21]
He let go a laugh let go a laugh[00:01:29]
Shook back his clothes all around[00:01:36]
Mr. Bojangles[00:01:44]

Dance[00:01:57]
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs[00:02:01]
Throughout the south[00:02:07]
He spoke through tears of fifteen years how his dog and him[00:02:11]
Traveled about[00:02:17]
The dog up and died he up and died[00:02:21]
After twenty years he still grieves[00:02:28]
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks[00:02:34]
For drinks and tips[00:02:40]
But most the time I spend behind these county bars[00:02:44]
'Cause I drinks a bit[00:02:49]
He shook his head and as he shook his head[00:02:54]
I heard someone ask him please please[00:03:01]
