Mr. Bojangles - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Written by：Jerry Jeff Walker

Producer：William E. McEuen

I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you

In worn out shoes

Silver hair a ragged shirt and baggy pants

The old soft shoe

He jumped so high jumped so high

Then he'd lightly touch down

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 talked of life he laughed

Slapped his leg a step

He said his name Bojangles

Then he danced a lick across the cell

He grabbed his pants a better stance

O he jumped so 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 danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs

Throughout the south

He spoke through tears of fifteen years how his dog and him

Traveled about

The dog up and died he up and died

After twenty 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 please

Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles

Mr. Bojangles

Dance
