Lyrics
I knew a man Bojangles
And he'll dance for you
In worn out shoes
With silver hair a ragged shirt
Baggy pants
He would do the old soft shoe
He would jump so high
Jump so high
Then he lightly touch down
Told me of the time he worked with
With minstrel shows
Traveling throughout the south
Spoke with tears for fifteen years
How his, how his dog and he
They would travel about
But his dog up and died
Dog up and died
After twenty years he still grieves
Said I dance now
At every chance in Honky Tonks
For my drinks and tips
But most the time I spend
Behind these country bars
You see son 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
That's Mister Bojangles
Call him Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles come back and dance
And dance
And dance
Please dance
Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles
And Mister Bojangles
Come back and dance
And dance and dance
Please dance
