I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you   
    G        A   
In worn out shoes   
      D             F#m              Bm   
With silver hair a ragged shirt and baggy pants   
     G        A   
The old soft shoe

He jumped so high, jumped so high

Then he'd lightly touch 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 eyes of age as he spoke right out   
He talked of life, talked of life, he laughed, slapped his leg a step   
(Chorus)   
   
He said his name Bojangles then he danced a licked across the cell   
He grabbed his pants, a better stance, o he jumped so hi, & he clicked his heels   
He let go a laugh, let go a laugh, shook back his clothes all around   
(Chorus)   
   
He danced for those at minstrel shows & county fairs, throughout the south   
He spoke with tears of 15 years how his dog and him traveled about   
His dog up and died, up and died, after 20 years he still grieves   
(Chorus)   
   
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 shook his head, and as he shook his head I heard someone ask him please   
(Chorus)
