Harmony Bill and Ragtime Lil
were sweethearts fond and true.
But they differed in some things
as lovers often do.
Now when it came to music
Bill sang in a high class way.
And that's the time that Rag time Lil
to William she would say:
"your style is very fine,
But Old Ragtime for mine.

"I was born in Virginia"
That's a pretty melody,
That old fashioned "Lovin' Rag"
sounds mighty good to me.
"Love me and the world is mine"
That's a real nice tune,
but it ain't ragtime.
Mister, let me tell you
when the music starts,
sing a good old Ragtime Song.

"I was born in Virginia"
That's a pretty melody,
That old fashioned "Lovin' Rag"
sounds mighty good to me.
"Love me and the world is mine"
That's a real nice tune,
but it ain't ragtime.
Mister, let me tell you
when the music starts,
sing a good old Ragtime Song.

Ragtime Lil said: "Harmony Bill,
let's to an op'ra go,
I must hear Caruso sing,
his voice is great, you know,
Away up in the gal'ry
Lil listened to him sing.
But only laughed when William said:
"Grand Op'ra is the thing."
Then right before that crowd,
Lil up and hollered loud.

"I was born in Virginia"
That's a pretty melody,
That old fashioned "Lovin' Rag"
sounds mighty good to me.
"Love me and the world is mine"
That's a real nice tune,
but it ain't ragtime.
Mister, let me tell you
when the music starts,
sing a good old Ragtime Song.

"I was born in Virginia"
That's a pretty melody,
That old fashioned "Lovin' Rag"
sounds mighty good to me.
"Love me and the world is mine"
That's a real nice tune,
but it ain't ragtime.
Mister, let me tell you
when the music starts,
sing a good old Ragtime Song.
