I knew a man Bojangles
And he'll dance for you
In worn out shoes
With silver hair and ragged shirt baggy pants
He would do the old soft shoe
He would jump so high
Jump so hi-igh
Then he lightly touched down
He told me of the time he worked with Minstrel shows
That's mister Bojangles
Calling mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles come back and dance and dance
Em (Riff)
That's mister Bojangles
Calling mister Bojangles
Mister Bojangles come back and dance and dance
Em (Riff)
