I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance with you
In worn out shoes
With silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants
The old soft shoes
He'd jump so high, jump so high
And then he'd lightly touch down
I met a man at a saloon
Knew at least I was
Down and out
He looked at me to be the eyes of age
As he spoke right out
He talked of life, talked of life
He laughed and slept at latest times
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Dance
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Dance
Dance
Dance
