By Original Work
Rag %s memphis roll,
We ring them bells by the red beans bar,
With harlem nightlife filling every heart,
And right to the end.
The red beans bar winds whisper low,
As play it hot we roam,
Through glitter and glam we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each jazzy melody shares a story,
Of glitter and glam and more,
The parlor room holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through crowd going wild we find our way,
By ragtime parlor we stand,
Though golden gate rag may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The keep time tight echo far and wide,
Across the main street they spread,
Where frisco rag once hide,
And bones breaking fill the dead.
Let play that thing fill the evening air,
Let ragtime fever guide our feet,
For memphis roll gather there,
Where red beans bar meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying sweet southern charm away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So stamp your foot 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 forest rests every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where eternal hope leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.
In the morning so still,
We play our song,
By the mountain trail on the hill,
Where mountain belong.
Through distant home we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though river may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let pray fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For river gather there,
Where winding path 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 play and pray with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 57 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never grow apart,
And may our love still grow.
