I knew a man Bojangles
And he'd dance for you
In worn out shoes
With silver hair a ragged shirt
And baggy pants
He would do the old soft shoe
He would jump so high
Jump so high
Then he lightly
touch down
He told me of the time
he worked with
Minstrel shows travelling
Throughout the south
He spoke with tears
of fifteen years
how how his dog and he
They would travel about
But his dog up and died
He up and died
And after twenty years
he still grieved
He said I dance now and
At every chance
in the Honky Tonks
For my drinks and tips
But most the time I spend
Behind these country bars
You see on I drinks a bit
Then he shook his head
Oh lord when he shook his head
I could swear I heard someone
say please
please Mister Bojangles
Call him Mister Bojangles
please Mister Bojangles
oh oh oh oh
come back
and dance please
oh oh oh
Come back and dance again
Mr Bojangles Mr Bojangles
Mr Bojangles
oh oh oh....
