The Roseville Fair

Oh, they danced all night

To the fiddle and the banjo

The way we did

At the Roseville Fair

Oh, the night was clear

And the stars were shining

And the moon came up

So quiet in the sky

And all the people gathered 'round

While the bands were a-tuning

I can hear them now

Playing "Coming Through the Rye"

You were dressed in blue

And you looked so lovely

Just a gentle flower

Of a small town girl

And you took my hand

And 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 tunes

Seemed to fill the air

So long ago

But I still remember

When we fell in love

At the Roseville Fair

Now we courted well

And we courted dearly

We'd rock for hours

In the front porch chair

Then a year went by

From the time I met you

And I made you mine

At the Roseville Fair

And we danced all night

To the fiddle and the banjo

Their drifting tunes

Seemed to fill the air

So long ago

But I still remember

When we fell in love

At the Roseville Fair

So here's a song

For all you lovers

And here's a tune

That you can share

May you dance all night

To the fiddle and the banjo

Oh, the way we did

At the Roseville Fair

Oh, the way we did

At the Roseville Fair
