I knew a man Bojangles[00:00:01]

And he danced for you[00:00:04]

In worn out shoes[00:00:08]

With silver hair a ragged shirt[00:00:14]

And baggy pants the old soft shoe[00:00:17]

He jumped so high he jumped so high[00:00:27]

Then he lightly touched down[00:00:36]

I met him in a cell in New Orleans[00:00:45]

I was down and out[00:00:48]

He looked at me to be the eyes of age[00:00:58]

As he spoke right out[00:01:04]

He talked of life he talked of life[00:01:11]

He laughed and slapped his leg a step[00:01:19]

Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles[00:01:30]

Mr Bojangles dance [00:01:41]

He said his name Bojangles[00:01:54]

Then he danced a lick across the cell[00:01:57]

He grabbed his pants[00:02:07]

A better stance[00:02:09]

Oh he jumped up high[00:02:10]

He clicked his heels[00:02:15]

He let go a laugh he let go a laugh[00:02:21]

Shook back his clothes all around[00:02:29]

He danced for those[00:02:39]

At minstrel shows and county fairs[00:02:41]

Throughout the south[00:02:46]

He spoke with tears of 15 years[00:02:51]

How his dog and he traveled about[00:02:56]

His dog up and died he up and died[00:03:05]

After 20 years he still grieves[00:03:14]

Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles[00:03:22]

Mr Bojangles dance [00:03:35]

He said I dance now[00:03:50]

At every chance in honky tonks[00:03:52]

For drinks and tips[00:03:57]

But most of the time[00:04:04]

I spend behind these county bars[00:04:06]

He said I drinks a bit[00:04:09]

He shook his head[00:04:17]

And as he shook his head[00:04:20]

I heard someone respectfully ask[00:04:24]

Please[00:04:29]

Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles[00:04:34]

Mr Bojangles dance[00:04:46]
