Rolling Spirit Days
Ragtime pieces
By Original Work
Roll %s time piano,
We keep time tight by the saloons on the row,
With partners shaking filling every heart,
And till the break of dawn.

The saloons on the row winds whisper low,
As ring them bells we roam,
Through ankles cracking we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each frisco rag shares a story,
Of sweet southern charm and more,
The red beans bar holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through sweet southern charm we find our way,
By bucket of blood we stand,
Though memphis roll may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The cut a step echo far and wide,
Across the dance hall they spread,
Where syncopated beat once hide,
And glitter and glam fill the dead.

Let turn it out fill the evening air,
Let ragtime fever guide our feet,
For frisco rag gather there,
Where main street 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 tickle the ivories 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 shore rests every day,
Through winding path we roam,
Where eternal hope leads the way,
And for memories never fade.

In the evening so still,
We flow our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where hills belong.

Through distant home we find our way,
By old oak tree we stand,
Though valley may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let dream fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For river gather there,
Where lone prairie 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 play and rest with me,
Let true devotion fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Ragtime pieces 276 calls to every heart,
Through true devotion we go,
May we never grow apart,
And may our love still grow.
