Alamo Rag 1910

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 13 Oct 2004

'Way down south in San Antonio,
that's the place they have The Alamo;
that's the place
they dance to pass the time away,
both night and day
they do that sway.
Place your arm around your lady's waist,
just to show the folks you've got good taste;
music starts a playing and away you go,
oh, oh, so slow that's The Alamo!

Oh, that Alamo Rag, that Alamo drag.
Now honey if you think this talk is phoney,
take a trip to San Antony.
Lawdy! I could just die
when ever they cry,
Play The Alamo Rag

Oh, that Alamo Rag, that Alamo drag.
Now honey if you think this talk is phoney,
take a trip to San Antony.
Lawdy! I could just die
when ever they cry,
Play The Alamo Rag

San Antonio's the place to go,
where they play that music, sweet and low,
where they play that music
dreamy while you dance,
Oh, oh, oh that prance,
puts you in a trance.
Everybody's happy when they glide,
everybody's happy when they slide;
I'll be dancing with my baby mighty soon,
just hear them all croon,
that Alamo tune.

Oh, that Alamo Rag, that Alamo drag.
Now honey if you think this talk is phoney,
take a trip to San Antony.
Lawdy! I could just die
when ever they cry,
Play The Alamo Rag

Oh, that Alamo Rag, that Alamo drag.
Now honey if you think this talk is phoney,
take a trip to San Antony.
Lawdy! I could just die
when ever they cry,
Play The Alamo Rag
