A Real Slow Drag from Treemonisha, by Scott Joplin - Opera tune on guitar

Details

Description

A kind of new dimension to my Ragtime performance... hope you enjoy although my vocal could not to be OPERATIC but somewhat like Rock... ;-) Anyway, here shows the exact lyrics for listeners. *Sorry if the very beginning of Intro having cut away - affected by YouTube's uploading...

Salute your partner, do the drag.
Stop and move backward, do the drag.
All of you stop.

Look to your right and do the drag.
To your left, that's the way.

Marching onward, marching onward,
Marching to that lovely tune;
Marching onward, marching onward,
Happy as a bird in June.
Sliding onward, sliding onward,
Listen to that rag.

Hop and skip,
Now do that Slow Drag.

Dance slowly, prance slowly,
While you hear that pretty rag.
Dance slowly, prance slowly,
Now you do the real Slow Drag.
Walk slowly, talk lowly,
Listen to that rag.

Hop and skip,
Now do that Slow Drag.

Move along, don't stop,
Don't stop dancing,
Drag along.
Stop!

Move along, don't stop,
Don't stop dancing,
Drag along,
Doing the real Slow Drag.

Marching onward, marching onward,
Marching to that lovely tune;
Marching onward, marching onward,
Happy as a bird in June.
Sliding onward, sliding onward,
Listen to that rag.

Hop and skip,
Now do that Slow Drag.
