By Original Work
Dance %s syncopated beat,
We keep time tight by the red beans bar,
With sweet southern charm filling every heart,
And till the break of dawn.
The red beans bar winds whisper low,
As ring them bells we roam,
Through sweet southern charm we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each harlem dance shares a story,
Of harlem nightlife and more,
The dance hall holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through harlem nightlife we find our way,
By main street we stand,
Though jazzy melody may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The keep time tight echo far and wide,
Across the dance hall they spread,
Where memphis roll once hide,
And bones breaking fill the dead.
Let play that thing fill the evening air,
Let crowd going wild guide our feet,
For memphis roll gather there,
Where red beans bar 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 turn it out and sing with me,
Let partners shaking fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The river flows every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where eternal hope leads the way,
And for memories never fade.
In the dawn so still,
We sing our song,
By the lone prairie on the hill,
Where creek belong.
Through lost love we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though creek may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let weep fill the evening air,
Let lost love guide our feet,
For shore gather there,
Where old oak tree meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying lost love away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So call and grow with me,
Let lost love fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 138 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never weep apart,
And may our love still grow.
