History
A country song written by Bill Staines in 1979.
Oh, the night was clear and the stars were shinin', The moon came up so quiet in the sky. All the people gathered round; 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. Chorus: And we danced all night to the fiddle and the banjo, Their drifting tunes seemed to fill the air. So long ago and we still remember When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair. We courted well; we courted dearly, And we'd rock for hours in the front porch chair. Then a year went by from the time I met you And I made you mine at the Roseville Fair. (Chorus) So here's a song for all of the lovers, 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.
