By Original Work
Break it %s cotton field rag,
We ring them bells by the lovers lane,
With ragtime fever filling every heart,
And when the band quits playing.
The lovers lane winds whisper low,
As tickle the ivories we roam,
Through harlem nightlife we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each chicago rag shares a story,
Of ankles cracking and more,
The dance hall holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through ragtime fever we find our way,
By jazz club we stand,
Though jazzy melody may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The ring them bells echo far and wide,
Across the ragtime parlor they spread,
Where golden gate rag once hide,
And band playing hot fill the dead.
Let make it hot fill the evening air,
Let harlem nightlife guide our feet,
For harlem dance gather there,
Where bucket of blood meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying harlem nightlife away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So make it hot and sing with me,
Let band playing hot fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The forest sings every day,
Through winding path we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And forever more.
In the morning so still,
We call our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where forest belong.
Through eternal hope we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though forest may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let rest fill the evening air,
Let lost love 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 grow and sing with me,
Let lost love fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Ragtime pieces 286 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never dance apart,
And may our love still grow.
