Roseville Fair Lyrics

Roseville Fair lyrics

Roseville Fair
by Bill Staines
Oh, the night was clear,
And the
stars were a-shinin'.
The moon came up so quiet in the sky.
All the
people gathered 'round,
And the band was a-tunin'.
I can hear them
now,
Playin' "Comin' Through The Rye."
Cho: 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
  
  How we fell in love at the Roseville Fair.
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,
And with a single smile, you
became my world.
   Cho.
Now we courted well, and we courted
dearly,
And we'd rock for hours on your front porch chair.
Then a
year went by from the time that I met you,
And I made you mine at the
Roseville Fair.
   Cho.
So here's a song for all 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.
