Roseville Fair

May they dance all night
To the fiddle and the banjo
The way we did at the Roseville Fair
Oh, the night was clear, the stars were shining
The moon came up so quiet in the sky
And people gathered 'round, the bands were tuning
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 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
We courted well, we courted dearly
We’d sit for hours on the front porch chair
And 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 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
