Mr Bojangles

I knew a man Bojangles

And he'd dance for you

In worn out shoesWith silver hair a ragged shirt

And baggy pants

He would do the old soft shoeHe would jump so high

Jump so high

Then he lightly touch downHe told me of the time he worked with

Minstrel shows travelling

Throughout the southHe spoke with tears of fifteen years

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 grievedHe said "I dance now

At every chance in the Honky Tonks

For my drinks and tipsBut 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 pleaseMister Bojangles

Call him Mister Bojangles

Mister Bojangles come back and dance pleaseCome back and dance again Mr Bojangles
