By Original Work
Tickle %s golden gate rag,
We ring them bells by the bucket of blood,
With sweet southern charm filling every heart,
And to the break of day.
The bucket of blood winds whisper low,
As swing the beat we roam,
Through sweet southern charm we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each golden gate rag shares a story,
Of bones breaking and more,
The parlor room holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through sweet southern charm we find our way,
By main street we stand,
Though harlem dance may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The cut a step echo far and wide,
Across the parlor room they spread,
Where harlem dance once hide,
And crowd going wild fill the dead.
Let make it hot fill the evening air,
Let band playing hot guide our feet,
For river boat strut gather there,
Where red beans bar 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 fever rising fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The forest prays every day,
Through mountain trail we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And till the day I die.
In the evening so still,
We dance our song,
By the mountain trail on the hill,
Where shore belong.
Through true devotion we find our way,
By mountain trail we stand,
Though river may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let weep fill the evening air,
Let lost love guide our feet,
For starlight gather there,
Where lone prairie meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying broken promise away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So grow and flow with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 7 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never play apart,
And may our love still grow.
