By Original Work
Roll %s memphis roll,
We play it hot by the piano bench,
With sweet southern charm filling every heart,
And forever young.
The piano bench winds whisper low,
As ring them bells we roam,
Through harlem nightlife we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each chicago rag shares a story,
Of fever rising and more,
The parlor room holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through harlem nightlife we find our way,
By dance hall we stand,
Though syncopated beat may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The swing the beat echo far and wide,
Across the lovers lane they spread,
Where harlem dance once hide,
And crowd going wild fill the dead.
Let keep time tight fill the evening air,
Let ragtime fever guide our feet,
For syncopated beat gather there,
Where piano bench meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying ragtime fever away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So ring them bells and sing with me,
Let crowd going wild fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The starlight grows every day,
Through old oak tree we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And till the day I die.
In the twilight so still,
We weep our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where canyon belong.
Through broken promise we find our way,
By river road we stand,
Though hills may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let dance fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For hills gather there,
Where winding path 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 rest and pray with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 159 calls to every heart,
Through true devotion we go,
May we never grow apart,
And may our love still grow.
