Johnny McEvoy - Roseville Fair Lyrics

The sky was clear, the stars were shining
The moon came out so quiet in the sky
The people gathered round, the band was tuning
I can hear them now playing, ‘Coming through the Rye’

You were dressed in blue, you looked so lovely
Just a gentle flower of a small town girl
You took my hand and we danced 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 I can still remember
When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair

We courted well, we courted dearly
We rocked for hours on the front porch chair
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 I can still remember
When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair

So here’s a song for all of the lovers
And here’s a tune that we can share
As we dance all night to the fiddle and the banjo
The way we did at the Roseville Fair
