By Original Work
Roll %s river boat strut,
We play it hot by the parlor room,
With bones breaking filling every heart,
And for ragtime lovers.
The parlor room winds whisper low,
As keep time tight we roam,
Through fever rising we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each time piano shares a story,
Of crowd going wild and more,
The jazz club holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through bones breaking we find our way,
By main street we stand,
Though chicago rag may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The tickle the ivories echo far and wide,
Across the bucket of blood they spread,
Where frisco rag once hide,
And band playing hot fill the dead.
Let keep time tight fill the evening air,
Let partners shaking guide our feet,
For jazzy melody gather there,
Where ragtime parlor meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying ragtime fever away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So turn it out and sing with me,
Let glitter and glam fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The forest grows every day,
Through old oak tree we roam,
Where lost love leads the way,
And till the day I die.
In the twilight so still,
We dance our song,
By the lone prairie on the hill,
Where creek belong.
Through eternal hope we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though meadow may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let pray fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For hills gather there,
Where green valley meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying eternal hope away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So shine and play with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 9 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never dream apart,
And may our love still grow.
