[Verse 1]
I knew a man Bojangles
And he danced with you
In worn-out shoes
With silver hair, a ragged shirt, and baggy pants
[Verse 2]
He did the old soft shoes
He jumped so high, jumped so high
Then he lightly touched down
[Verse 3]
I met him in a cell in New Orleans, Oh, I was so down and out
He looked at me to be the eyes of the age
But, don't you know that he spoke right out
He talked of life, talked of life
Then he laughed slapped his leg a step
[Verse 4]
He said his name, Bojangles
Then he danced a lick
Don't you know
He went right across the cell, ha
He grabbed his pants to
Get a better stance, oh, He jumped so high
Lord, and he clicked his heels
He let go a laugh, ah ha ha, He let go a laugh
Shook back his clothes all around
I knew a man Bojangles
