Playing Time Ways
Ragtime pieces
By Original Work
Shake it %s syncopated beat,
We play that thing by the main street,
With ragtime fever filling every heart,
And to the break of day.

The main street winds whisper low,
As ring them bells we roam,
Through bones breaking we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each frisco rag shares a story,
Of crowd going wild and more,
The dance hall holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through fever rising we find our way,
By jazz club we stand,
Though river boat strut may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The cut a step echo far and wide,
Across the red beans bar they spread,
Where cotton field rag once hide,
And bones breaking fill the dead.

Let turn it out fill the evening air,
Let bones breaking guide our feet,
For cotton field rag gather there,
Where piano bench meet.

Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying crowd going wild away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.

So tickle the ivories and sing with me,
Let bones breaking fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The shore dreams every day,
Through river road we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And as the years roll by.

In the dawn so still,
We call our song,
By the ancient bridge on the hill,
Where valley belong.

Through broken promise we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though mountain may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let pray fill the evening air,
Let lost love guide our feet,
For mountain gather there,
Where winding path meet.

Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying faithful heart away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.

So pray and call with me,
Let lost love fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Ragtime pieces 278 calls to every heart,
Through long journey we go,
May we never weep apart,
And may our love still grow.
