The song is about two lovers who meet at a fair; it mentions the band, corn fields, her looking lovely and (I think) being dressed in blue - jog anyone's memory? |

I couldn't pull it out of DigiTrad, and I'm not even sure if this is what you're looking for.... (Retrieved from http://www.risa.co.uk/sla/index/11/11657.html) ~black walnut ................................................. ROSEVILLE FAIR Bill Staines 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 |
