Текст (слова) песни: Nanci Griffith - Roseville Fair

 
Oh, the night was clear and the stars were shinin` 
and the moon came up,... so quiet in the sky 
And all the people gathered round while the band was a-tunin` 
I can hear them now ... playin` `Comin` Through the Rye` 
 
She was dressed in blue and she looked so lovely 
just a gentle flower of a small town girl 
Then he took her hand and they danced to the music 
with a single smile ... she became his world 
 
(chorus) 
And they danced all night ... to the fiddle and the banjo 
their driftin` tunes, seemed to fill the air 
so long ago, but they still remember ... 
when they fell in love, at the Roseville Fair 
Now, they courted well, and they courted dearly 
They`d rock for hours in the front porch chair 
Then a year went by ... from the time that he met her 
and he made her his, at the Roseville Fair 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
So here`s a song for all of the lovers 
and here`s a tune ... that you can share 
May you dance all night ... to the fiddle and the banjo 
Oh, the way they did at the Roseville Fair 
Oh, the way they did ... at the Roseville Fair
