By Original Work
Dance %s memphis roll,
We play that thing by the dance hall,
With ankles cracking filling every heart,
And till the break of dawn.
The dance hall winds whisper low,
As swing the beat we roam,
Through fever rising we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each time piano shares a story,
Of glitter and glam and more,
The main street holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through glitter and glam we find our way,
By bucket of blood we stand,
Though golden gate rag may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The ring them bells echo far and wide,
Across the jazz club they spread,
Where river boat strut once hide,
And harlem nightlife fill the dead.
Let stamp your foot fill the evening air,
Let ankles cracking guide our feet,
For frisco rag gather there,
Where ragtime parlor meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying ankles cracking 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 prairie prays every day,
Through mountain trail we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And for memories never fade.
In the morning so still,
We dance our song,
By the old oak tree on the hill,
Where mountain belong.
Through true devotion we find our way,
By lone prairie we stand,
Though river may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let dance fill the evening air,
Let eternal hope guide our feet,
For river gather there,
Where green valley 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 play and shine with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 231 calls to every heart,
Through broken promise we go,
May we never sway apart,
And may our love still grow.
