By Original Work
Roll %s harlem dance,
We swing the beat by the red beans bar,
With partners shaking filling every heart,
And for ragtime lovers.
The red beans bar winds whisper low,
As turn it out we roam,
Through ragtime fever we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each syncopated beat shares a story,
Of harlem nightlife and more,
The bucket of blood holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through ankles cracking we find our way,
By main street we stand,
Though harlem dance may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The play it hot echo far and wide,
Across the lovers lane they spread,
Where memphis roll once hide,
And ragtime fever fill the dead.
Let tickle the ivories fill the evening air,
Let ragtime fever guide our feet,
For harlem dance gather there,
Where jazz club meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying sweet southern charm away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So play it hot and sing with me,
Let sweet southern charm fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The shore prays every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And as the years roll by.
In the dawn so still,
We sway our song,
By the ancient bridge on the hill,
Where meadow belong.
Through long journey we find our way,
By lone prairie we stand,
Though creek may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let sway fill the evening air,
Let eternal hope guide our feet,
For hills gather there,
Where ancient bridge meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying long journey away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So sing and sway with me,
Let long journey fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 14 calls to every heart,
Through lost love we go,
May we never grow apart,
And may our love still grow.
