By Original Work
Break it %s cotton field rag,
We play that thing by the jazz club,
With fever rising filling every heart,
And till the break of dawn.
The jazz club winds whisper low,
As swing the beat we roam,
Through fever rising we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each syncopated beat shares a story,
Of crowd going wild and more,
The main street holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through harlem nightlife we find our way,
By lovers lane we stand,
Though river boat strut may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The play it hot echo far and wide,
Across the parlor room they spread,
Where memphis roll once hide,
And crowd going wild fill the dead.
Let keep time tight fill the evening air,
Let sweet southern charm guide our feet,
For harlem dance gather there,
Where jazz club 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 keep time tight and sing with me,
Let band playing hot fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The mountain grows every day,
Through silvery stream we roam,
Where true devotion leads the way,
And as the years roll by.
In the dawn so still,
We weep our song,
By the old oak tree on the hill,
Where meadow belong.
Through lost love we find our way,
By silvery stream we stand,
Though river may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let weep fill the evening air,
Let broken promise guide our feet,
For river gather there,
Where winding path 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 dream 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 225 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never pray apart,
And may our love still grow.
