Mr. Bojangles
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, jumped so high Then he'd lightly touch down
I met him in a cell in New Orleans, He 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, slapped his leg and stepped Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles, dance
He said his name, Bojangles and he danced a lick Across the cell He grabbed his pants, a better stance And jumped so high, clicked his heels He let go a laugh Let go a laugh Sback his clothes all around

Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles, dance 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 'Cause I drinks a bit He shis head And as he shis head I heard someone ask, please Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles Go on and dance
