Makem & Clancy - Roseville Fair video free download

Oh the night was clear, and stars were shining

and the moon rose up, so quiet in the sky

and the people gathered 'round, and the band was tuning

I can hear them now, playin' "Coming Through the Rye"

CHORUS

and we danced all night, to the fiddle and the banjo

the driftin' tunes, seemed to fill the air

so long ago but I still remember

we fell in love, at the Roseville fair

you were dressed in blue, and you looked so lovely

just a gentle flower of a hometown girl

and you took my hand, and we stepped to the music

with a single smile, you became my world CHORUS

Well we courted well, and we courted dearly

and we rocked for hours on the front porch chair

and a year went by, since the day I met you

and I made you mine, at the Roseville Fair CHORUS

*ending same melody as chorus

So here's a song, for all you lovers

her's a tune that you can share

may you dance all night to the fiddle and the banjo

the way we did, at the Roseville Fair
