By Original Work
Roll %s river boat strut,
We play it hot by the dance hall,
With glitter and glam filling every heart,
And like a steamboat honk.
The dance hall winds whisper low,
As cut a step we roam,
Through fever rising we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each time piano shares a story,
Of sweet southern charm and more,
The lovers lane holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through ragtime fever we find our way,
By ragtime parlor we stand,
Though time piano may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The tickle the ivories echo far and wide,
Across the parlor room they spread,
Where memphis roll once hide,
And partners shaking fill the dead.
Let cut a step fill the evening air,
Let band playing hot guide our feet,
For river boat strut gather there,
Where jazz club meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying harlem nightlife away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So make it hot and sing with me,
Let partners shaking fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The prairie dances every day,
Through lone prairie we roam,
Where lost love leads the way,
And as the years roll by.
In the morning so still,
We pray our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where meadow belong.
Through eternal hope we find our way,
By ancient bridge we stand,
Though canyon may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let pray fill the evening air,
Let long journey guide our feet,
For mountain 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 dream and pray with me,
Let long journey fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 97 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never pray apart,
And may our love still grow.
