I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you,
Ab Bb7
In worn out shoes,
Eb Ebmaj7 Cm Eb7
With silver hair, a ragged shirt, and baggy pants
Ab Bb7
He Would Do The old soft shoe.
Ab Eb G7 Cm
He jumped so high, jumped so high
F9 Bb11
Then he'd lightly touch down.
I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was,Well I Was down and out.
He looked to me to be the eyes of age as he spoke right out
He talked of life, talked of life, he laughed, slapped his leg a step
He said his name Was "Bojangles" then he danced a lick across the cell
He grabbed his pants, Took a better stance, o he jumped so hi, & he clicked his heels
He let go a laugh, let go a laugh, shook back his clothes all around
Bb7 Cm Bb Cm Bb Cm Bb Eb
That Was Mr Bojangles, Mr Bojangles, Mr Bojangles. Lord He Could Dance.
(CHORUS)
He danced for those at minstrel shows & county fairs,
throughout the south
He spoke with tears of 15 years how his dog and him traveled about.
His dog up and died, up and died, after 20 years he still grieves.
(CHORUS)
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks for My 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
