Align:    
  • This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the whose garden was this? album, and has also been released on the changes album.
  • Knew a man bojangles and he danced for you
  • In worn out shoes
  • Silver hair ragged shirt and baggy pants
  • The old soft shoe
  • He jumped so high
  • He jumped so high
  • And hed lightly touched down
  • Mr bojangles mr bojangles mr bojangles dance
  • Met him in a cell
  • New orleans he was down and out
  • He looked to me to be the eyes of age as he
  • He spoke right out
  • He talked about life
  • He talked of life
  • He lightly slapped his leg instead
  • He said the name bojangles and he danced a lick
  • Across the cell
  • He grabbed his pants and took a stance
  • And he jumped so high
  • He clicked his heels
  • And he let go a laugh
  • He let go a laugh
  • Shook his clothes all around
  • Mr bojangles mr bojangles mr bojangles dance
  • We danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
  • Throughout the south
  • We spoke in tears of fifteen years
  • How his dog and him
  • They travelled about
  • The dog up and died
  • He up and died
  • After twenty years he still grieves
  • They said I dance now at every chance and honky tonks
  • For drinks and tips
  • But most the time I spend behind these county bars
  • Cause I drinks a bit
  • And he shook his head now
  • He shook his head
  • And I heard someone ask please
  • Mr bojangles mr bojangles hey mr bojangles dance
  • Words and music by walker
