G Em
I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you
C D
in worn out shoes.
G Em
Silver hair, ragged shirt and baggy pants,
C D
that old soft shoe.
C G Em
He jumped so high, he jumped so high,
Em D
then he'd lightly touch down.
G Em
I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was
C D
Down and out.
G Em
He looked to me to be the eyes of age
C D
as he spoke right out.
C G Em
He talked of life, he talked of life,
Em D
laughed and clicked his heels in step.
G Em
He said his name, Bojangles, and he danced a lick
C D
across the cell.
G Em
He grabbed his pants for a better stance, oh, he jumped so high,
C D
and he clicked his heels.
C G Em
He let go a laugh... he let go a laugh,
Em D
shook back his clothes all a-round.
C D
Mr. Bo-jangles,
Am D
Mr. Bo-jangles,
C D
Mr. Bo-jangles,
G
Dance...
G Em
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
C D
throughout the South.
G Em
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him
C D
Traveled a-bout.
C G Em
The dog up and died, he up and died,
Em D
after 20 years he still grieves.
G Em
He said, "I dance now at ev'ry chance in honky tonks
C D
for drinks and tips.
G Em
But most of the time I spend behind these county bars
C D
'cause I drinks a bit."
C G Em
He shook his head... and as he shook his head.
Em D
I heard someone ask him, "Please... please...
C D
Mr. Bo-jangles,
Am D
Mr. Bo-jangles,
C D
Mr. Bo-jangles,
G
Dance..."
