Oh, the night was clear and the stars were shinin'
The moon came up so quiet in the sky
All the people gathered round; the band was tunin'
I can hear them now playin' "Comin' Through the Rye"
You were dressed in blue and you looked so lovely
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 and we still remember
When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair
We courted well; we courted dearly
And 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 and we still remember
When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair
So here's a song for all of the lovers
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
