Miss Hannah Green was often seen
In Blackville town she reigned supreme
To balls and picnics she would go
To win that ragtime prize
But when the band would start to play
That Merry Widow Waltz
Say look here man, just stop dat band
She'd yell till she was hoarse

Play dat rag
Oh my Honey won't you play dat rag
Just play dat same old drag
Because it sure does bring
gladness to my soul dear
No waltz time
No Salomy dances go for mine
So just you take your time
And play dat rag

Play dat rag
Oh my Honey won't you play dat rag
Just play dat same old drag
Because it sure does bring
gladness to my soul dear
No waltz time
No Salomy dances go for mine
So just you take your time
And play dat rag

Miss Hannahs beau and she did go
To see the Merry Widow show
She said the dresses dey am fine
But all the songs too slow
Now me and waltzes don't agree
And I don't want to brag
But take me some place where I'll hear
Dat ever lovin' rag

Play dat rag
Oh my Honey won't you play dat rag
Just play dat same old drag
Because it sure does bring
gladness to my soul dear
No waltz time
No Salomy dances go for mine
So just you take your time
And play dat rag

Play dat rag
Oh my Honey won't you play dat rag
Just play dat same old drag
Because it sure does bring
gladness to my soul dear
No waltz time
No Salomy dances go for mine
So just you take your time
And play dat rag
