D * * G D
.. Oh the night was clear, .. and the stars were shining
D G A * D
.. And the moon came up___, .. so quiet in the sky
D * * G D
.. All the people gathered 'round, .. and the band was a-tuning
D G A * D
.. I can hear them now___, .. playing "Coming Through the Rye"
D * * G D
.. You were dressed in blue, .. and you looked so lovely
D G A * D
.. Just a gentle flower___, .. of a small-town girl
D * * G D
.. You took my hand, .. and we stepped to the music
D G A * D
.. With a single smile___, .. you became my world
CHORUS:
D A D Em A D
.. And we danced all night___, .. to the fiddle and the banjo
A G A D
.. Their drifting tunes, .. seemed to fill the air
D A D Em A D
.. So long ago___, .. but I still re-member
A G A D
.. When we fell in love, .. at the Roseville Fair
Now we courted well, and we courted dearly
And we'd rock for hours, on the front-porch chair
Then a year went by, from the time that I met you
And I made you mine, at the Roseville Fair
So 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
