i knew a man bojangles and he danced for you in worn out shoes with silver hair ragged shirt and baggy pants he would do the old soft shoe he could jump so high jump so high and then he lightly touched down i met him in a cell in new orleans i was when i was down and out he looked to me to be the very eyes of age as he spoke right out talked of life lord he talked of life ha ha ha ha laughed slapped his labored step he said his name was bojangles then he danced a lick right across the cell he grabbed his pants took a better stance jumped up high that’s when he clicked his heels the he let go a laugh lord he let go a laugh shook back his clothes all around that was mr bojangles mr bojangles mr bojangles lord he could dance he told me of the times he worked for minstrel shows traveling throughout the south he spoke with tear of fifteen years how his dog and he they just travelled about then his dog up and died dog up and died and after twenty years he still breathes he said i dance now at every chance at honky tonks for my drinks and tips but most the time i spend behind these county bars you see son i drinks a bit then he shook his head lord when he shook his head i could swear i heard someone say please mr bojangles mr bojangles mr bojangles come back and dance dance dance please dance mr bojangles mr bojangles mr bojangles dance why can’t you come back and dance please bojangles um hmmm dance again bojangles
