當然,曲子紅了之後,就一定有人會想要填詞,於是在1903年, Scott Joplin出版社的老板 John Stark找了
Sydney Brown 來填詞,出版了第一版有歌詞的Maple Leaf Rag Song. (資料來源:http://www.perfessorbill.com/lyrics/lymaple.htm)
Maple Leaf Rag (Song) Words by Sydney Brown, Music by Scott Joplin
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 Im in the notion just step back and watch my motion.
Chorus:Oh go way man I can hypnotize dis nation, I can shake de earths foundation wid de Maple Leaf Rag Oh go way man just hold you breath a minit, For theres not a stunt thats in it with the Maple Leaf Rag.
Verse 2:I droppd into de swellest ball, The great exclusive it, But my face was dead agin me and my trousers didnt 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 earths foundation wid de Maple Leaf Rag Oh go way man just hold you breath a minit, For theres not a stunt thats in it with the Maple Leaf Rag.

Chorus:Oh go way man I can hypnotize dis nation, I can shake de earths foundation wid de Maple Leaf Rag Oh go way man just hold you breath a minit, For theres not a stunt thats in it with the Maple Leaf Rag.
