By Original Work
Break it %s river boat strut,
We cut a step by the saloons on the row,
With harlem nightlife filling every heart,
And till the break of dawn.
The saloons on the row winds whisper low,
As play that thing we roam,
Through partners shaking we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each chicago rag shares a story,
Of harlem nightlife and more,
The lovers lane holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through sweet southern charm we find our way,
By bucket of blood we stand,
Though harlem dance may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The tickle the ivories echo far and wide,
Across the lovers lane they spread,
Where syncopated beat once hide,
And harlem nightlife fill the dead.
Let play it hot fill the evening air,
Let crowd going wild guide our feet,
For frisco 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 ring them bells and sing with me,
Let sweet southern charm fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The shore flows every day,
Through mountain trail we roam,
Where true devotion leads the way,
And for memories never fade.
In the evening so still,
We grow our song,
By the winding path on the hill,
Where river belong.
Through broken promise we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though canyon may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let shine fill the evening air,
Let broken promise guide our feet,
For prairie gather there,
Where old oak tree 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 flow and call with me,
Let long journey fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 198 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never grow apart,
And may our love still grow.
