Nanci Griffith - Roseville Fair lyrics

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 ni-i-ght 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 Now, they courted well, and they courted dearly; They'd rock for hours in the front porch chair Then a year went by from the time that he met her And he made her his at the Roseville Fair And they danced all ni-i-ght 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 So here's a song for all the lovers And here's a tune that you can share: May you dance all night to the fiddle and the banjo The way they did at the Roseville Fair The way they did at the Roseville Fair
