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' Coming 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

And they danced all ni-I-ght to the fiddle and the banjo

Their drifting 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

And they danced all ni-I-ght to the fiddle and the banjo

Their drifting tunes seemed to fill the air

So long ago, but they still remember

When they fell in love at the Roseville Fair

So here's a song for all the lovers

And here's a tune that you can share

May you dance all night to the fiddle and the banjo

The way they did at the Roseville Fair

The way they did at the Roseville Fair
