Oh, the night was clear And the stars were shinin' And the moon came up so quiet in the sky All the people gathered 'round And the band was a-tunin' I could hear them now Playin' "Comin' Through The Rye" You were dressed in blue And you looked so lovely Just a gentle flower Of a small-town girl You took my hand And we stepped 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 And we'd rock 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 And we danced all night To the fiddle and the banjo Their drifting tunes seemed to fill the air So long ago, but I can still remember When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair And here's a song for all of the lovers And here's a tune that they can share May they dance all night To the fiddle and the banjo The way we did at the Roseville Fair May they dance all night To the fiddle and the banjo The way we did at the Roseville Fair
