Mr bojangles crd Jerry Jeff Walker
[C]I knew a man, Bojangles, and he danced for you
[F]in worn out [G]shoes,
With silverhair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants,
the old soft shoe.
[F]He jumped so [C]high, [E7]jumped s[Am]o high,
[D7]then he lightly touched [Dm7]down. [G7]
[Am]Mister Bo[G]jangles,[Am] Mister Bo[G]jangles,[Am] Mister Bo[G]jangles[C] dance.
I met him in a cell in New Orleans C
I was down and out. F/G
He looked at me to be the eyes of age, C
As he spoke right out. F/G
He talked of life, talked of life. F/C/E7/Am
He laughed, slapped his leg a step. D7/Dm7/G7
Mr. Bojangles...
He said his name, Bojangles, then he danced a lick
across the cell.
He grabbed his pants a better stance, Oh, he jumped so high,
He clicked his heels.
He let go a laugh, Let go a laugh
Shook back his clothes all around.
Mr. Bojangles...
He danced for those at minstrel shows and country fairs throughout the South.
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog
and he traveled about.
His dog up and dies, He up and died,
After twenty vears he still grieved.
Mr. Bojangles...
He said, "I dance now at ev`ry chance In honky tonks
for drinks and tips.
but most of the time I spend behind these country bars "He said "I drinks a bit."
He shook his head and as he shook his head,
I heard someone ask please,
Mr. Bojangles...
