Sammi Smith
Mr. Bojangles

(Jerry Jeff Walker)

I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you in worn out shoes
With silver hair and ragged shirt and baggy pants the old soft shoe
And he jumped so high he jumped so high and then he'd lightly touch down
I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes of age and he spoke right out
He talked of life, he talked of life, he laughed slapped his leg a step
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles dance.

He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs throughout the south
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him traveled about
His dog up and died, oh, he up and died, after twenty years he still grieves
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks for drinks and for tips
But most the time I spend behind these county bars 'cause I drinks a bit
He shook his head, and as he shook his head, I heard someone ask him please
Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles won't you dance?


Mirror lyrics:

Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles won't you dance?
He shook his head, and as he shook his head, I heard someone ask him please
But most the time I spend behind these county bars 'cause I drinks a bit
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks for drinks and for tips
His dog up and died, oh, he up and died, after twenty years he still grieves
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him traveled about
He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs throughout the south

Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles dance.
He talked of life, he talked of life, he laughed slapped his leg a step
He looked to me to be the eyes of age and he spoke right out
I met him in a cell in New Orleans I was down and out
And he jumped so high he jumped so high and then he'd lightly touch down
With silver hair and ragged shirt and baggy pants the old soft shoe
I knew a man Bojangles and he danced for you in worn out shoes
