Treemonisha (extrait) - Scott Joplin

Paroles

A real slow drag

Salute your partner do the drag,
Drag,
Drag.
Stop and move backward do the drag,
All of you stop.
Look to your right and do the drag,
Drag,
Drag.
To your left, to your left,
That's the way.

Marching onward, marching onward,
Marching to that lovely tune.
Marching onward, marching onward,
Happy as a bird in June.
Sliding onward, sliding onward,
Listen to that rag.
Hop,
And skip,
Now do that slow - o,
Do that slow drag.
Dance slowly, prance slowly,
While you hear that pretty rag.
Dance slowly, prance slowly,
Now you do the real slow drag.
Walk slowly, talk slowly,
Listen to that rag.
Hop,
And skip,
Now do that slow - o,
Do that slow drag.

Move along,
Don't stop,
Don't stop dancing.
Drag along,
Stop.
Move along,
Don't stop,
Don't stop dancing.
Drag along,
Doing the real slow drag.
Move along, etc.

Marching onward, marching onward,
Marching to that lovely tune.
Marching onward, marching onward,
Happy as a bird in June.
Sliding onward, sliding onward,
Listen to that rag.
Hop,
And skip,
Now do that slow - o,
Do that slow drag.
Dance slowly, prance slowly,
While you hear that pretty rag.
Dance slowly, prance slowly,
Now you do the real slow drag.
Walk slowly, talk slowly,
Listen to that rag.
Hop,
And skip,
Now do that slow - o,
Do that slow drag.
Slow - o - o - o drag.
