VERSE

New on a ragged tux and his shoes

In worn out shoes, silver hair, ragged

skirt, baggy pants.

He would do the old, soft shoe.

He could jump so high, jump so high.

And then he'd lightly

touch down.

I met him in a cell in

New Orleans, I was.

Well, I was down enough.

He looked to me to be the very eyes of age.

As he spoke right out,

Talked of life.

Talked of life.

Laughed, slapped his leg a step.

He said his name was

Bojangles.

Then he danced a lick.

Right across the cell, grab his pants, take a better stance,

jump up high.

That's when he clicked his heels.

Then he'd let go that laugh.

Lord, Lord, Lord, he'd let go a laugh.

Shook back his clothes all around.

That was Mr.

Bojangles

Mr.

Bojangles

Mr.

Bo jangles

the man could dance.

On other times he worked with minstrel shows.

Traveling throughout the

South,

spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog in heat

They would travel about

But his dog of him died

The dog just got old and died

But after twenty years he still grieved

He said I dance now with every...

Every chance and honky tonk for my drinks and tips

But most of the time I spend behind the county bars.

You see, son, I drink sweet.

Then he shook his head.

Lord God, when he shook his head, I could swear I heard someone say, please, please,

CHORUS

That's Mr.

Bojangles

Calling Mr.

Bojangles

Mr.

Bojangles

Come back and dance, dance, dance, dance.

Mr.

Bojangles

Mr.

Bojangles Mr.

Bojangles Dance

Oh won't you come back and dance

Please Bojangles

They call me

Mr.

Bojangles
