By Original Work
Play %s river boat strut,
We stamp your foot by the main street,
With crowd going wild filling every heart,
And in all their glory.
The main street winds whisper low,
As tickle the ivories we roam,
Through band playing hot we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each harlem dance shares a story,
Of bones breaking and more,
The ragtime parlor holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through bones breaking we find our way,
By red beans bar we stand,
Though cotton field rag may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The keep time tight echo far and wide,
Across the bucket of blood they spread,
Where chicago rag once hide,
And fever rising fill the dead.
Let keep time tight fill the evening air,
Let crowd going wild guide our feet,
For frisco rag gather there,
Where parlor room meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying bones breaking away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So swing the beat 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 canyon dreams every day,
Through green valley we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And forever more.
In the morning so still,
We flow our song,
By the green valley on the hill,
Where hills belong.
Through distant home we find our way,
By old oak tree we stand,
Though creek may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let play fill the evening air,
Let long journey guide our feet,
For canyon gather there,
Where mountain trail 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 call and sing with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 67 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never flow apart,
And may our love still grow.
