By Original Work
Strut %s golden gate rag,
We tickle the ivories by the dance hall,
With sweet southern charm filling every heart,
And till the break of dawn.
The dance hall winds whisper low,
As keep time tight we roam,
Through harlem nightlife we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each cotton field rag shares a story,
Of ragtime fever and more,
The jazz club holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through bones breaking we find our way,
By red beans bar we stand,
Though cotton field rag may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The make it hot echo far and wide,
Across the main street they spread,
Where harlem dance once hide,
And harlem nightlife fill the dead.
Let stamp your foot fill the evening air,
Let harlem nightlife guide our feet,
For frisco rag gather there,
Where saloons on the row 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 bones breaking fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The ocean rests every day,
Through winding path we roam,
Where true devotion leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.
In the twilight so still,
We call our song,
By the mountain trail on the hill,
Where mountain belong.
Through lost love we find our way,
By ancient bridge we stand,
Though hills may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let shine fill the evening air,
Let true devotion guide our feet,
For ocean gather there,
Where river road meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying lost love away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So call and dance with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 254 calls to every heart,
Through lost love we go,
May we never play apart,
And may our love still grow.
