D-DU-UDU
 
 ..  Oh the night  was clear, .. and the stars were shining
 
 
 ..  And the moon came up___, .. so quiet in the sky
 
 
 ..  I can hear them now___, .. playing "Coming Through the Rye"
 
 ..  You were dressed  in blue, .. and you looked so lovely
 
 
 ..  Just a gentle flower___, .. of a small-town girl
 
 ..  You took my hand,  .. and we stepped to the music
 
 
 ..  With a single smile___, .. you became my world
 ..  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  re-member
 ..  When we fell in love,  .. at  the Roseville Fair
 Now we courted well, and we courted dearly
 And we'd rock for hours, on the front-porch chair
 Then a year went by, from the time that I met you
 And I made you mine, at the Roseville Fair
 So here's a song, for all of the lovers
 And here's a tune, that they can share
 May they dance all night, to the fiddle and the banjo
 The way we did, at the Roseville Fair
 REPEAT LAST TWO LINES OF VERSE TO END (NO FINAL CHORUS)
 NOTES:
 - "*" in the chord line represents a new bar, play same chord
 - "." in the lyric line represents a 1/8 note rest
