(By Bill Staines) 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' 'Comin' 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 [Chorus:] And they danced all night... to the fiddle and the banjo Their driftin' 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 [Chorus] So here's a song for all of the lovers And here's a tune... that you can share 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 Aus Songtexte Mania
