I knew a man
Bojangles and he danced for you
            G
In worn out shoes
     C                               Am        C F
With silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants
             G
The old soft shoe
F              C
 He jumped so high
           Am C F
Jumped so high

I was

Down and out
   C                      Am        C F
He looked to me to be the eyes of age
                  G
As he spoke right out
F             C
 He talked of life
          Am  C
Talked of life

He laughed and slapped his leg a step

He danced for those in minstrel shows and county fairs
               G
Throughout the south
   C                                         Am         C F
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him
           G
Traveled about
F               C
 His dog up and died
       Am  C F
Up and died
             Am             G
After twenty years he still grieves

He said I dance now every chance in honky tonks
               G
For drinks and tips
    C                                     Am        C F
But most of the time I spend behind these county bars
                  G
'Cause I drinks a bit
F             C
 He shook his head
                Am      C F
And as he shook his head
        Am           G
I heard someone ask, please
