Mr. Bojangles Folk Songs
[C]I knew a man, Boj[C/B]angles, and he d[Am]anced for you, [F]in worn out s[G]hoes
[C]With silver hair [C/B]a ragged shirt &[Am] baggy pants, t[F]he old soft s[G]hoe
[F]He jumped so h[C]igh, ju[E7]mped so h[Am]igh, th[D7]en he lightly touched [Dm7]down [G7]
[Am]Mr. Boja[G]ngles[Am], Mr. Bojan[G]gles[Am], Mr. Boj[G]angles, d[C]an[C/B]ce [Am] [G] [F]
I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes of age, as he spoke right out
He talked of life, & as he talked of life
He laughed, slapped his leg a step
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance
He said his name 'Bojangles' and he danced a lick
Across the cell
He grabbed his pants, a better stance he jumped up high
He clicked his heels
He let go a laugh, let go a laugh
Shook back his clothes all around
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance
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
he said 'I drink's a bit'
He shook his head and as he shook his head
I heard someone ask please
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance
