By Original Work
Roll %s memphis roll,
We cut a step by the piano bench,
With ankles cracking filling every heart,
And till the break of dawn.
The piano bench winds whisper low,
As make it hot we roam,
Through crowd going wild we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each jazzy melody shares a story,
Of ankles cracking and more,
The ragtime parlor holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through band playing hot we find our way,
By parlor room we stand,
Though frisco rag may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The cut a step echo far and wide,
Across the parlor room they spread,
Where syncopated beat once hide,
And sweet southern charm fill the dead.
Let cut a step fill the evening air,
Let bones breaking guide our feet,
For memphis roll gather there,
Where bucket of blood meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying glitter and glam away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So cut a step and sing with me,
Let ankles cracking fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The prairie prays every day,
Through green valley we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And till the day I die.
In the dawn so still,
We shine our song,
By the lone prairie on the hill,
Where river belong.
Through long journey we find our way,
By lone prairie we stand,
Though starlight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let sing fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For hills gather there,
Where silvery stream 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 dance and weep with me,
Let true devotion fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 268 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never dance apart,
And may our love still grow.
