Ragtime Land 1909 'The Golden Widow'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 23 Feb 2005

If you're Yankee thro' and thro'
or got a drop of American blood in you
When you're away from home
across the foam
you'll get mighty homesick
when you hear some Ragtime music,
up your spine it's sure to send a thrill
these tunes belong to us and always will
When abroad a rag they start to play
A gal from home will always say:

"In Ragtime Land,
(Lead me honey, by the hand,)
to Ragtime Land.
(I want to go there to listen to the Band.)
Down where these syncopated tunes grow
'neath the Yankee Doodle moon
Oh! Baby mine
(Won't you listen to my plea)
Now don't decline
Just take me back
(Want my ticket or my fare)
To Ragtime Land
(Honey Baby meet me there.)

"In Ragtime Land,
(Lead me honey, by the hand,)
to Ragtime Land.
(I want to go there to listen to the Band.)
Down where these syncopated tunes grow
'neath the Yankee Doodle moon
Oh! Baby mine
(Won't you listen to my plea)
Now don't decline
Just take me back
(Want my ticket or my fare)
To Ragtime Land
(Honey Baby meet me there.)
