Song

[Intro] (x4)
(F,C,Dm,C,Dm,C7)

Verse

I knew a man Bojangles
And he'll dance for you  
In worn out shoes  
With silver hair and ragged shirt baggy pants  
He would do the old soft shoe

Bridge

He would jump so high
Jump so hi-igh 
Then he lightly touched down  

Verse

Told me of the time
He worked with, with minstrel shows 
Travelling troughout the south  
He spoke with tears for fifteen years
How his how his dog and he  
They would travel about
But his dog up and died   
Got up and died
After twenty years he still grieves
He said

Verse

I dance now at every chance in honky tonks  
For my drinks and tips  
But most the time I, I spend behind these country bars  
You see son I,I drink a bit

Bridge 2

Then he shook his head  
Oh Lord, when he shook his head
I can swear I heard somebody saying please, please 

Chorus

That's mister Bojangles
Calling mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles come back and dance and dance
And dance please dance
Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles come back and dance and dance
And dance please dance  
Come back and dance again mister Bojangles
