Roseville Fair Liam Clancy

[Verse 1]
Oh, the night was clear, the stars were shining
The moon came up so quiet in the sky
And people gathered 'round, the bands were tuning
I can hear them now, playin' "Comin' Through The Rye."

[Verse 2]
You were dressed in blue, you looked so lovely
Just a gentle flower of a small-town girl
You took my hand and we danced to the music
With a single smile, you became my world

[Verse 3]
And we danced all night
To the fiddle and the banjo
Their drifting tunes seemed to fill the air
So long ago, but I still remember
When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair

[Verse 4]
We courted well, we courted dearly
We'd sit for hours on the front porch chair
And a year went by from the time I met you
And I made you mine at the Roseville Fair

[Verse 5]
And we danced all night
To the fiddle and the banjo
Their drifting tunes seemed to fill the air
So long ago, but I still remember
When we fell in love at the Roseville Fair
