Oh, the night was clear,
And the stars were a-shinin'.
And moon came out, so quiet in the sky.
All the people gathered 'round,
For 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.
Cho: And we danced all night
To the fiddle and the banjo.
Their drifting tunes, seemed to fill the air.
So long ago but, I still remember
How we fell in love, at the Roseville Fair.
Now we courted well, and we courted dearly,
And we'd rock for hours In your front porch chair.
And a year went by, from the time that I met you,
And I made you mine, at the Roseville Fair.
Cho.
So here's a song for, all the lovers,
Here's a tune, that we alll can share.
(2x) May they dance all night
To the fiddle and the banjo
The way we did at the Roseville Fair.
And the stars were a-shinin'.
And moon came out, so quiet in the sky.
All the people gathered 'round,
For 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.

To the fiddle and the banjo.

And we'd rock for hours In your front porch chair.
