Lyrics Mr. Bojangles - Jr. , Sammy Davis
I
knew
a
man,
Bojangles,
and
He'd
dance
for
you
In
worn
out
shoes,
with
silver
hair,
a
ragged
shirt
and
baggy
pants
He
would
do
'The
old
soft
shoe'
He
could
jump
so
high
Jump
so
high
And
then
he'd
lightly,
touch
down
I
met
him
in
a
cell
in
New
Orleans
I
was
While
I
was
down
and
out
He
looked
to
me
to
be
the
very
eyes
of
age
As
he
spoke
right
out
Talked
of
life,
mmm
Lord
he
talked
of
life,
whaha
Laughed,
slapped
his
leg
and
stepped
He
said
his
name
was
"Bojangles"
And
he
danced
a
lick
right
across
the
cell
He
grabbed
his
pants,
took
a
better
stance,
jumped
up
high
That's
when
he
clicked
his
heels
Then
he
let
go
a
laugh
Lord
he
let
go
a
laugh,
shook
back
his
clothes
all
aroud
That
was
Mr.
Bojangles
Mr.
Bojangles
Mr.
Bojangles
Lord,
he
could
dance
He
told
me
of
the
times
he
worked
in
Minstrel
shows,
travelling
around
the
South
He
spoke
with
tears
of
fifteen
years
how
his
dog
and
he
They
just
travel
all
about
But
his
dog
up
and
died
Dog
up
and
died
And
after
twenty
years
he
still
grieved
He
said
"I
dance
now
and
every
chance
a
Honky-Tonk,
for
my
drinks
and
tips"
"For
my
drinks
and
tips"
But
most
of
the
time
I
spend
behind
these
county
bars
"You
see
son,
I
drinks
a
bit"
Then
he
his
head
Lord,
when
he
shis
head
I
could
swear
I
heard
someone
say:
"Please"
Mr.
Bojangles
A
Mr.
Bojangles
Mr.
Bojangles,
"Come
back
and
dance"
Dance
Dance
Please,
dance
Come
on
and
dance
now
A
Mr.
Bojangles
Mr.
Bojangles
Mr.
Bojangles,
dance
Why
can't
you
come
back
and
dance?
Please,
Bojangles
Hmmmm,
dance
Again
