I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you 
F5           G5     (Lick)
In worn out shoes
C5                   G5              A5           (Lick) 
With silver hair, a ragged shirt, and baggy pants
F5            G5 
The old soft shoe 
F5            E5              A5    
He jumped so high, jumped so high
D5              G5 
Then he lightly touched down

C5              G5               A5           (Lick)
I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was 
F5        G5  (Lick)
down and out
C5                G5          A5           (Lick) 
He looked to me to be the eyes of age
F5                 G5  (Lick) 
as he spoke right out 
F5            E5              A5   D5
He talked of life, talked of life, he laughed
                      G5      (Lick)
clicked his heels and stepped
 
C5                 G5               A5           (Lick)
He said his name "Bojangles" and he danced a lick 
F5          G5    (Lick)
across the cell
C5                        G5                            A5      (Lick)
He grabbed his pants and spread his stance,Oh he jumped so high 
F5                       G5     (Lick) 
and then he clicked his heels 
F5           E5              A5
He let go a laugh, let go a laugh
D5                             G5 
and shook back his clothes all around
 
A5    G5        A5     G5
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles
A5    G5        C5     G5  A5 (Lick) 
Mr. Bojangles, dance

He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs 
throughout the south 
He spoke through tears of 15 years how his dog and him 
traveled about 
The dog up and died, he up and died 
And 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 him please 

Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles, dance..
