The last of four collaborative rags by Scott Joplin and his friend Scott Hayden, which like "Felicity Rag" would have been written many years before the publication date of 1913. Published by John Stark in St. Louis, though he and Joplin had parted ways in 1908. Hayden died of tuberculosis in 1915 at age 33.

Original score source was from the Charles Templeton Sheet Music Collection at this link:

This is a reproduction of the original score, some errors were corrected. At measure 33 changed the first left-hand chord from G-B-C to G-A-C#. At measure 34 removed the sharp from the first left-hand C. Added ties at measure 39. Fixed transition from A repeat strain to C strain by adding start-repeat bars at measure 57. Otherwise, as written.
