Roseville Fair

lyrics

Oh, the night was clear,
the stars were a-shinin'
and the moon came up, so quiet in the sky.
The people gathered 'round,
and the band was a-tunin'.
I can hear them now,
Playin' "Comin' Through The Rye."
You were dressed in blue,
You looked so lovely,
just a gentle flower, of a small-town girl.
You took my hand, we danced to the music,
with a single smile, you became my world.
And we danced all night,
To the fiddle and the banjo.
Their drifting tune, seemed to fill the air.
So long ago, but I still remember,
When we fell in love, at the Roseville Fair.
We courted well, we courted dearly,
and we'd sit for hours, in the front porch chair.
Then a year went by, from the time that I met you,
And I made you mine, at the Roseville Fair.
[CHORUS]
So here's a song, for all the lovers,
here’s a tune, they can share.
May they dance all night,
to the fiddle and the banjo.
The way we did at the Roseville Fair.
And we danced all night,
To the fiddle and the banjo.
Their drifting tune, seemed to fill the air.
So long ago, but I still remember,
When we fell in love, at the Roseville Fair.
When we fell in love, at the Roseville Fair.
