I met him in a cell in New Orleans,  I was . . . . down and out
     C             Em     Am 	               F                 G
He looked to me to be the eyes of age . . .  as he spoke right out     
F            Em Em7           Am       D7                           G     G7
He talked of life, talked of life, He laughed, slapped his leg and stepped

   C             Em                Am 	           F         G    G
He said his name Bojangles then he danced a lick across the cell
     C                  Em                 Am 	  	     F           G
He grabbed his pants, a better stance, he jumped so high he clicked his heels
F           Em Em7           Am     D7                          G       G7
He let go a laugh, let go a laugh,  Shook back his clothes all around

    C                  Em               Am 	  	 F              G     G
He danced for those at minstrel shows & county fairs,  throughout the south
   C                    Em               Am 	      F          G
He spoke with tears of 15 years how his dog and him  traveled about
F              Em Em7       Am 	     D7                       G        G7
His dog up and died, up and died,   After 20 years he still grieves

   C                   Em              Am           F             G   G
He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks for drinks and tips
 C           Em                         Am 	            F        G
But most the time I spend behind these county bars cause I drinks a bit
F            Em Em7                    Am     D7                    G      G7
He shook his head, and as he shook his head I heard someone ask him please
