D F#m Bm G A
I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you In worn out shoes
D F#m Bm G A
With silver hair a ragged shirt and baggy pants The old soft shoe
G F#m F#m7 Bm E7 A7
He jumped so high, jumped so high Then he'd lightly touch down.
(CHORUS)
Bm A Bm A Bm A D
Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles dance
D F#m Bm G A
I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was down and out
D F#m Bm G A
He looked to me to be the eyes of age as he spoke right out
G F#m F#m7 Bm E7 A7
He talked of life, talked of life, he laughed, slapped his leg a step
(CHORUS)
D F#m Bm G A
He said his name Bojangles then he danced a licked across the cell
D F#m Bm G A
He grabbed his pants, a better stance, o he jumped so hi, & he clicked his heels
G F#m F#m7 Bm E7 A7
He let go a laugh, let go a laugh, shook back his clothes all around
(CHORUS)
Bm A Bm A Bm A D
Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles dance
D F#m Bm G A
He danced for those at minstrel shows & county fairs, throughout the south
D F#m Bm G A
He spoke with tears of 15 years how his dog and him traveled about
G F#m F#m7 Bm E7 A7
His dog up and died, up and died, after 20 years he still grieves
(CHORUS)
D F#m Bm G A
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks for drinks and tips
D F#m Bm G A
But most the time I spend behind these county bars cause I drinks a bit
G F#m F#m7 Bm E7 A7
He shook his head, and as he shook his head I heard someone ask him please
(CHORUS)
Bm A Bm A Bm A D
Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles dance
