[Lyric] Roseville Fair (Tommy Makem & Liam Clancy)

[Verse 1]
Oh, the night was clear
Stars were shinin'
The moon came up so quiet in the sky
The people gathered 'round
The bands was a-tunin'
I could hear them now
Playin' "Comin' Through The Rye"

[Verse 2]
You were dressed in blue
You looked so lovely
Just a gentle flower
Of a small-town girl
You took my hand
We danced to the music
With a single smile
You became my world

[Chorus]
And we danced all night
To the fiddle and the banjo
Their drifting tunes seemеd to fill the air
So long ago, but I still remembеr
When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair
[Verse 3]
We courted well
We courted dearly
We'd sit for hours
In the front porch chair
A year went by
From the time that I met you
And I made you mine
At the Roseville Fair

[Chorus]
And we danced all night
To the fiddle and the banjo
Their drifting tunes seemed to fill the air
So long ago, but I can still remember
When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair

[Verse 4]
And here's a song for all of the lovers
And here's a tune that they can share
May they dance all night
To the fiddle and the banjo
The way we did at the Roseville Fair
May they dance all night
To the fiddle and the banjo
The way we did at the Roseville Fair
