There's just one thing 'Bout country music, If you don't know now You'll learn right soon; Anytime There's a fiddle and a banjo At least two of them Will be out of tune. cho: Give me your E, said the fiddle to the banjo Or your G or D, I just don't care. And we sat around while the band was tuning All night long, at the Roseville Fair. Well the mandolin He never made it And the bass was off With a blonde somewhere And the whole damn thing It got downgraded Frome "Roseville Good" To "Roseville Fair." It's a fine ole place For cotton candy And ice-cold beer And burgers rare. You can ride all night On the painted ponies But you just can't dance At the Roseville Fair. (dick greenhaus) |

THE TUNBRIDGE FAIR: Oh, the mud was deep, and the midway noisy, And the smell of fried dough filled the air The very first time I came up from Joisey To have some fun at the Tunbridge Fair. You were dressed in...well, that was the attraction, And you got goose bumps in the cold night air And the people gathered 'round, just to catch the action At the girly show, at the Tunbridge Fair. And you danced all night, and the moon shone brightly On your rosy cheeks, and your curly hair. And I fell in love, so I came back nightly To the girly show, at the Tunbridge Fair. I came back to Tunbridge, last September And sure enough, I found you there But the show was gone, no one could remember When the last one closed, at the Tunbridge Fair. You had gone from dance into law enforcement You had a big ol' gun, and a badge to wear And a uniform, and that, of course, meant You were overdressed for the Tunbridge Fair So I spent the night in the local hoosegow For what I said when I saw you there, And I realize that it's no use now, Yelling "take it off," at the Tunbridge Fair. But in my dreams, the moon shines brightly On your rosy cheeks and your curly hair And the memory arises nightly Of the way you danced, at the Tunbridge Fair. When I found romance, at the Tunbridge Fair But I missed my chance, at the Tunbridge Fair Now you're wearing pants, at the Tunbridge Fair. |

10 Sep 06 - 06:20 AM (#1831055) Subject: Lyr Add: ROSEVILLE FAIR (parody by Les Barker) From: Mr Happy ROSEVILLE FAIR (Banjo Parody) (Les Barker) Oh the night was clear and the stars were shining, And the moon came out quiet in the sky And the people gathered round and the band was tuning; I can hear him now, 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 by the hand and they danced to the music; With a single smile she became his girl. And they danced all night to the fiddle and the banjo; Driftin' tunes filled the air; So long ago now but I can still remember When they fell in love at the Roseville Fair. They courted well and they courted dearly Till the followin' year at the self-same Fair; She caught him holdin' hands with some floozy; She cracked his skull with a rosewood chair. And his head went right through the middle of the banjo; She left them both well beyond repair; And the old folks said, "That's the way to treat a banjo"; She cracked his skull with a rosewood chair. And we couldn't believe the improvement in the music; Driftin' tunes filled the air; With his head still stuck through the middle of the banjo. We danced all night at the Roseville Fair. And his head went right through the middle of the banjo; She left them both well beyond repair; And the old folks said, "That's the way to treat a banjo"; She cracked his skull with a rosewood chair. |

No, here's an exta verse from my days in Michigan: The years went by and time's now left us; Your face is lined and your hair is grey, But I'll tell you again how much I love you With this simple song in the same old way... Cheerily, Charley Noble |
