The lyrics I am postingare the original J.J. Walker lyrics, Dylan made a slight change hereand there.I met him in a cell in New OrleansI was down and outHe looked to (Dylan: at) me to be the eyes of ageAs he spoke right outHe talked of life, he talked of lifeThen he laughed - slepped his leg a stepHe said the name Bojangles then he danced a lick'Cross the cellHe grabbed his pants,(Dylan: for) a better stanceOh (Dylan: then) he jumped so highHe clicked his heelsHe let go laugh, let go laughShook back his cloth all aroundMr. Bojangles (3x)DanceHe danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairsThroughout the southSpoke with tears of 15 yearsHow his dog 'n him travelled aboutHis dog up and died, his dog up and diedAfter 20 years he still grievesHe said I dance now at every chance in honky tonksFor drinks and tipsBut most the time I spend behind these county bars'Cause (Dylan: For) I drinks a bitHe shook his head, and he shook his headI heard someone ask "Please"Mr. Bojangles (3x)DanceDance
