Lyrics Mr. Bojangles - Harry Belafonte
Oh
I
knew
a
man,
Bojangles
and
he
danced
for
you
In
worn
out
shoes
With
silver
hair
and
ragged
shirt
and
baggy
pants
The
old
soft
shoe
He
jumped
so
high,
he
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,
he
talked
of
life
He
laughed
slapped
his
leg
a
step
Mr
Bojangles,
Mr
Bojangles
Mr
Bojangles
dance
He
spoke
the
name's
Bojangles
then
he
danced
a
lick
Across
the
cell
He
grabbed
his
pants,
a
better
stance
Oh
he
jumped
so
high,
he
clicked
his
heels
He
let
go
a
laugh,
He
let
go
a
laugh
Shook
back
his
clothes
all
around
He
danced
for
those
at
minstrel
shows
and
county
fairs
Throughout
the
south
He
spoke
with
tears
of
fifteen
years
how
his
dog
and
him
Traveled
about
His
dog
up
and
died,
His
dog
up
and
died
After
20
years
he
still
grieves
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
please
Mr
Bojangles,
Mr
Bojangles
Mr
Bojangles
oh
dance
