There's a wench that's raising Cain,
and dey call her "RagTime" Jane
She's got the coons all hypnotised,
Around here, now that's plain;
For she walks and talks "RagTime"
She does the real coonjive
The nigs all sigh,
you'll here dem cry,
When Jane comes down the line.

Here comes that lady
with the ragtime walk
You'll hear them coons all say,
The lady with the ragtime talk
is a comin' down this way,
She's a got all the coons around insane
they've all got ragtime on the brain,
For a dead swell gal is Liza Jane
De wench with the ragtime walk.

Here comes that lady
with the ragtime walk
You'll hear them coons all say,
The lady with the ragtime talk
is a comin' down this way,
She's a got all the coons around insane
they've all got ragtime on the brain,
For a dead swell gal is Liza Jane
De wench with the ragtime walk.

At a cake walk she excels
All the other colored belles,
The wenches black,
from her get back,
She captures all the swells;
When the colored belles turn out,
She's the "Queen" without a doubt,
As dark as night,
Dressed out of sight,
you'll hear them coons all shout.

Here comes that lady
with the ragtime walk
You'll hear them coons all say,
The lady with the ragtime talk
is a comin' down this way,
She's a got all the coons around insane
they've all got ragtime on the brain,
For a dead swell gal is Liza Jane
De wench with the ragtime walk.

Here comes that lady
with the ragtime walk
You'll hear them coons all say,
The lady with the ragtime talk
is a comin' down this way,
She's a got all the coons around insane
they've all got ragtime on the brain,
For a dead swell gal is Liza Jane
De wench with the ragtime walk.
