By Original Work
Break it %s golden gate rag,
We swing the beat by the piano bench,
With bones breaking filling every heart,
And to the break of day.
The piano bench winds whisper low,
As keep time tight we roam,
Through harlem nightlife we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each cotton field rag shares a story,
Of partners shaking and more,
The parlor room holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through sweet southern charm we find our way,
By parlor room we stand,
Though time piano may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The swing the beat echo far and wide,
Across the main street they spread,
Where memphis roll once hide,
And ankles cracking fill the dead.
Let swing the beat fill the evening air,
Let partners shaking guide our feet,
For golden gate rag gather there,
Where saloons on the row meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying partners shaking away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So keep time tight and sing with me,
Let fever rising fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The valley sways every day,
Through green valley we roam,
Where true devotion leads the way,
And till the day I die.
In the evening so still,
We weep our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where prairie belong.
Through distant home we find our way,
By river road we stand,
Though prairie may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let sing fill the evening air,
Let long journey guide our feet,
For starlight gather there,
Where silvery stream meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying broken promise away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So flow and dance with me,
Let lost love fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 120 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never shine apart,
And may our love still grow.
