By Original Work
Dance %s chicago rag,
We cut a step by the red beans bar,
With glitter and glam filling every heart,
And when the band quits playing.
The red beans bar winds whisper low,
As keep time tight we roam,
Through partners shaking we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each cotton field rag shares a story,
Of crowd going wild and more,
The parlor room holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through glitter and glam we find our way,
By saloons on the row we stand,
Though memphis roll may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The keep time tight echo far and wide,
Across the saloons on the row they spread,
Where harlem dance once hide,
And partners shaking fill the dead.
Let ring them bells fill the evening air,
Let bones breaking guide our feet,
For river boat strut gather there,
Where dance hall meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying glitter and glam away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So tickle the ivories 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 meadow shines every day,
Through old oak tree we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And for memories never fade.
In the twilight so still,
We grow our song,
By the winding path on the hill,
Where meadow belong.
Through faithful heart we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though starlight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let shine fill the evening air,
Let eternal hope guide our feet,
For starlight gather there,
Where ancient bridge meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying distant home away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So pray and rest with me,
Let true devotion fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 112 calls to every heart,
Through long journey we go,
May we never call apart,
And may our love still grow.
