I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you
In worn out shoes
Silver hair, ragged shirt and baggy pants,
that old soft shoe
He'd jump so high, he'd jump so high,
Then he lightly touched down
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles,
Mr. Bojangles dance
I met him in a cell
in New Orleans, I was
down and out
He looked to me to be the eye of age
as he spoke right out
He talked of life,
he talked of life,
laughing he slapped his leg a step
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles,
Mr. Bojangles Dance
He said the name Bojangles
and he danced a lick
across the cell
He grabbed his pants for a better stance,
oh he jumped so high
He Jumped so high
and he clicked
up his heels
He let go laugh,
shook back his clothes all around
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles,
Mr. Bojangles Dance
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
throughtout the south
He spoke with tears of 15 years
of how his dog and him
just travelled about
His dog up and died,
up and died,
and after 20 years he still grieves
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles,
Mr. Bojangles Dance
He said I dance
at every chance
at honky-tonks
for drinks and tips
But most of the time
I spend behind
these county bars,
I drink's a bit
He shook his head,
and he shook his head
I heard someone ask him, please,
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles,
Mr. Bojangles Dance
