  Then he'd lightly touch down.

  I met him in a cell in New 
Orleans, I was,Well 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 Was "Bojangles" 
then he danced a lick across the 
cell

  He grabbed his pants, Took a 
better stance, o he jumped so hi, & 
he clicked his heels

  He let go a laugh, let go a laugh,
 shook back his clothes all around

  That Was Mr Bojangles, Mr 
Cm    A#      Cm    A#         
Bojangles, Mr Bojangles. Lord 
            D#
He Could Dance.

  (CHORUS)

  He danced for those at minstrel 
shows & county fairs,

  throughout the south

  He spoke with tears of 15 years 
how his dog and him traveled about.

  His dog up and died, up and died, 
after 20 years he still grieves.

  (CHORUS)

  He said I dance now at every 
chance in honky tonks for My 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
