Roseville Fair Lyrics

CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: C
The night was clear and the stars were shining
Moon came up so quiet in the sky
People gathered 'round, the band were tuning
I can hear them now, playing, "Coming Through the Rye"
She was dressed in blue and she looked so lovely
Just a gentle flower of a small town girl
And he took her by the hand and they stepped to the music
With a simple smile she became his girl
CHORUS:
And they danced all night to the fiddle and the banjo
Drifting tunes filled the air
So long ago, I can still remember
How they fell in love at Roseville Fair
INTERLUDE: C F C F C F G
So, they courted well and they courted dearly
And they'd rock for hours on their front porch stair
'Til a year had passed since the time he met her
And they made their vows at Roseville Fair
CHORUS:
And they danced all night to the fiddle and the banjo
Drifting tunes filled the air
So long ago, I can still remember
How they made their vows at Roseville Fair
So here's a song for all you lovers
Here's our tune for you to share
May you dance all night to the fiddle and the banjo
The way they did at Roseville Fair
