[C][Em][Am][G]
[C][Em][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
I [C]knew a man, Bo[Em]jangles and
[Am]he'd dance for you[G]
[F]In wor[G]n out shoes
With [C]silver hair, a [Em]ragged shirt,
[Am]and baggy pant[G]s
[F]He would do the old[G] soft shoe
[F]He could jum[Em]p so hig[E]h,
[Am]jump so high[D]
And then he'd [G]lightly
touch down

[Verse 2]
I [C]met him in a [Em]cell
[Am]in New Orleans, I wa[G]s
[F]Well, I was[G] down and out
He [C]looked to me to [Em]be
the very [Am]eyes of [G]age
[F]As he spo[G]ke right out
[F]Tal[Em]ked of lif[E]e,
[Am]Lord, he talked of life[D]
Laughed, slapped [G]his leg a step

[Verse 3]
He [C]said his name was Bo[Em]jangles
then he [Am]danced a [G]lick
[F]Right acro[G]ss the cell
He [C]grabbed his pants, took a [Em]better stance,
[Am]jumped up high[G]
[F]That's when he [G]clicked his heels
[F]Then he let[Em] go a lau[E]gh,
[Am]Lord, he let go a laug[D]h
Shook back his [G]clothes all around

[Chorus 1]
[Am]That was Mr. Bojangl[G]es,
[Am]Mr. Bojang[G]les, Mr. B[Am]ojangles[G]
[C]Lord, he [Em]could dance[Am][C]

[Verse 4]
[C]He tol[Em]d me of the times
he [Am]worked for [G]minstrel shows
[F]Tra[G]veling throughout the South
He [C]spoke with tears of [Em]fifteen years
[Am]how his dog and he[G]
[F]They just travele[G]d about
[F]The[Em]n his dog up and died,
[Am]dog up and died[D]
And after twenty [G]years he still grieves

[Verse 5]
[C]He sai[Em]d "I dance now[Am] at every chance
in hon[G]ky tonks
[F]For[G] my drinks and tips
[C]But most of time I[Em]
spend behind [Am]these county [G]bars
[F]You see, son, I, [G]I drinks a bit
[F]Then he shook his[Em] head,
[Am]Lord, when he shook his [D]head
I could sweat I [G]heard someone say please

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Mr. Bojang[G]les, Mr. B[Am]ojangles,[G]

Come back and [C]dance, [Em]dance,
