Oh the night was clear and the stars were shinin'

And the moon came up so quiet in the sky

And all the people gathered 'round

While the band was a-tunin'

I can hear them now playin' "Coming Through the Rye "

She was dressed in blue and she looked so lovely

Just a gentle flower of a small town girl

Then he took her hand and they danced to the music

With a single smile she became his world

And they danced all night to the fiddle and the banjo

Their drifting tunes seemed to fill the air

So long ago they still remember

When they fell in love at the Roseville Fair

Now they courted well they courted dearly

They'd rock for hours in the front porch chair

And then a year went by from the time that he

And he made your at the Roseville Fair

And they danced all night to the fiddle and the banjo

Their drifting tunes seemed to fill the air

So long ago but they still remember

When they fell in love at the Roseville Fair

Here's a song for all the lovers

Here's a tune that you can share

How may you dance all night to the fiddle and the banjo

Oh the way they did at the Roseville Fair

Oh the way they did at the Roseville Fair
