Lyrics Mr. Bojangles - John Holt
I
knew
a
man,
Bojangles,
and
he
danced
for
you
In
worn
out
shoes
With
silver
hair,
a
ragged
shirt,
and
baggy
pants
The
old
soft
shoes
He
jumped
so
high
Jumped
so
high
Then
he'd
lightly
touch
down
I
met
him
in
a
cell
in
New
Orleans
I
was
down
and
out
He
looked
at
me
to
be
the
eyes
of
age
As
he
spoke
right
out
He
talked
of
life
Talked
of
life
Laugh
and
slap
his
legs
instead
Mr.
Bojangles
Mr.
Bojangles
Mr.
Bojangles
Dance
He
said
his
name's
Bojangles,
then
he
danced
a
lick
Across
the
cell
He
grabbed
his
pants,
a
better
stance
Oh
how
he
jumped
up
high
He
clicked
his
heels
He
let
go
a
laugh
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
Oh
how
his
dog
and
he
Travelled
about
He
dog
up
and
died
Dog
up
and
died
After
fifteen
years
he
still
grieved
Mr.
Bojangles
Mr.
Bojangles
Mr.
Bojangles
Dance
He
said,
"I
dance
in
every
chance
and
honky
tonk
For
drinks
and
tips
But
most
of
the
time
I
spend
behind
these
country
bars"
He
said,
"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
Dance
Mr.
Bojangles
Mr.
Bojangles
Mr.
Bojangles
Dance
