See this is why I rarely do links. because they don't.
It was supposed to be an audio of maple leaf rag. Which incidentally has nothing to do with Canucks.

Nope
Verse 1: I came from ole Virginy From de county Acomac
I have no wealth to speak of 'cept de clothes upon my back.
I can do de country hoe down I can buck and wing to show down,
And while I'm in the notion just step back and watch my motion.
Chorus: Oh go 'way man I can hypnotize dis nation,
I can shake de earth's foundation wid de Maple Leaf Rag
Oh go 'way man just hold you breath a minit,
For there's not a stunt thats in it with the Maple Leaf Rag.
Verse 2: I dropp'd into de swellest ball, The great exclusive it,
But my face was dead agin me and my trousers didn't fit.
But when Maple Leaf was started my timidity departed.
I lost my trepidation you could taste de admiration.
Chorus: Oh go 'way man I can hypnotize dis nation,
I can shake de earth's foundation wid de Maple Leaf Rag
Oh go 'way man just hold you breath a minit,
For there's not a stunt thats in it with the Maple Leaf Rag.
INTERLUDE WITH DANCE
Verse 3: De men were struck wid jealousy, De razors 'gan to flash.
But de ladies gathered 'round me for I'd sholy made a mash.
De finest belle she sent a boy to call a coach and four.
We rode around a season till we both were lost to reason
Chorus: Oh go 'way man I can hypnotize dis nation,
I can shake de earth's foundation wid de Maple Leaf Rag
Oh go 'way man just hold you breath a minit,
For there's not a stunt thats in it with the Maple Leaf Rag.

here's a link to the sheet music, which I got via Wikipedia (note the lack of lyrics, and the fact that this is repeatedly referred to as "the first instrumental piece to sell over one million copies." link - joe (it's in the public domain, so anyone can add lyrics I guess) friday

You can listen to it here. It's fun to listen while you follow the notes in tsuwm's link. As to the words fitting...well, mostly. I guess.

If it is a rag then, like later jazz, the sheet music is only a rough guide.
