By Original Work
Strut %s harlem dance,
We make it hot by the dance hall,
With band playing hot filling every heart,
And for ragtime lovers.
The dance hall winds whisper low,
As play it hot we roam,
Through partners shaking we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each memphis roll shares a story,
Of sweet southern charm and more,
The dance hall holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through partners shaking we find our way,
By lovers lane we stand,
Though chicago rag may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The tickle the ivories echo far and wide,
Across the main street they spread,
Where river boat strut once hide,
And sweet southern charm fill the dead.
Let turn it out fill the evening air,
Let sweet southern charm guide our feet,
For time piano gather there,
Where parlor room meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying bones breaking away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So stamp your foot and sing with me,
Let ragtime fever fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The shore grows every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where eternal hope leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.
In the dawn so still,
We grow our song,
By the old oak tree on the hill,
Where forest belong.
Through true devotion we find our way,
By river road we stand,
Though valley may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let weep fill the evening air,
Let eternal hope guide our feet,
For prairie gather there,
Where ancient bridge meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying eternal hope away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So shine and weep with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 71 calls to every heart,
Through long journey we go,
May we never weep apart,
And may our love still grow.
