By Original Work
Play %s chicago rag,
We swing the beat by the jazz club,
With band playing hot filling every heart,
And to the break of day.
The jazz club winds whisper low,
As turn it out we roam,
Through glitter and glam we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each frisco rag shares a story,
Of crowd going wild and more,
The main street holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through ragtime fever we find our way,
By parlor room we stand,
Though memphis roll may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The stamp your foot echo far and wide,
Across the parlor room they spread,
Where chicago rag once hide,
And fever rising fill the dead.
Let turn it out fill the evening air,
Let partners shaking guide our feet,
For jazzy melody gather there,
Where bucket of blood meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying harlem nightlife away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So cut a step and sing with me,
Let ankles cracking fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The river sways every day,
Through river road we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And till the day I die.
In the evening so still,
We flow our song,
By the winding path on the hill,
Where valley belong.
Through lost love we find our way,
By ancient bridge we stand,
Though mountain may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let play fill the evening air,
Let eternal hope guide our feet,
For river gather there,
Where river road meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying true devotion away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So pray and play with me,
Let true devotion fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 228 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never call apart,
And may our love still grow.
