The night was clear and the stars were shining
FGC
Moon came up so quiet in the sky

People gathered 'round, the band were tuning

She was dressed in blue and she looked so lovely
FGC
Just a gentle flower of a small town girl
FC
And he took her by the hand and they stepped to the music
FGC
With a simple smile she became his girl
CHORUS:

And they danced all night to the fiddle and the banjo
FGC
Drifting tunes filled the air
FC
So long ago, I can still remember
FGC
How they fell in love at Roseville Fair

So, they courted well and they courted dearly
FGC
And they'd rock for hours on their front porch stair

'Til a year had passed since the time he met her
FGC
And they made their vows at Roseville Fair
CHORUS:
FC
And they danced all night to the fiddle and the banjo

How they made their vows at Roseville Fair

Here's our tune for you to share

May you dance all night to the fiddle and the banjo
FGCGC
The way they did at Roseville Fair
