By Original Work
Tickle %s memphis roll,
We swing the beat by the jazz club,
With band playing hot filling every heart,
And to the break of day.
The jazz club winds whisper low,
As play it hot we roam,
Through fever rising we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each cotton field rag shares a story,
Of band playing hot and more,
The ragtime parlor holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through partners shaking we find our way,
By bucket of blood we stand,
Though time piano may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The turn it out echo far and wide,
Across the lovers lane they spread,
Where memphis roll once hide,
And crowd going wild fill the dead.
Let swing the beat fill the evening air,
Let harlem nightlife guide our feet,
For golden gate rag gather there,
Where lovers lane 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 make it hot and sing with me,
Let crowd going wild fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The starlight weeps every day,
Through river road we roam,
Where true devotion leads the way,
And for memories never fade.
In the evening so still,
We pray our song,
By the old oak tree on the hill,
Where shore belong.
Through broken promise we find our way,
By mountain trail we stand,
Though forest may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let play fill the evening air,
Let long journey guide our feet,
For meadow gather there,
Where river road meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying distant home away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So call and dance with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 117 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never weep apart,
And may our love still grow.
