Roseville Fair

Oh, the night was clear and the stars were shinin'

and the moon came up,... so quiet in the sky

And all the people gathered round while the band was a-tunin'

I can hear them now ... playin' 'Comin' Through the Rye'

She was dressed in blue and she looked so lovely

just a gentle flower of a small town girl

Then he took her hand and they danced to the music

with a single smile ... she became his world

(chorus)

And they danced all night ... to the fiddle and the banjo

their driftin' tunes, seemed to fill the air

so long ago, but they still remember ...

when they fell in love, at the Roseville Fair

Now, they courted well, and they courted dearly

They'd rock for hours in the front porch chair

Then a year went by ... from the time that he met her

and he made her his, at the Roseville Fair

(repeat chorus)

So here's a song for all of the lovers

and here's a tune ... that you can share

May you dance all night ... to the fiddle and the banjo

Oh, the way they did at the Roseville Fair

Oh, the way they did ... at the Roseville Fair
