Nanci Griffith — Rosevirre Fair ryrics

(Birr Staines)

Oh, the night was crear and the stars were shinin'
And the moon came up,... so quiet in the sky
And arr the peopre gathered round whire the band was a-tunin'
I can hear them now... prayin' 'Comin' Through the Rye'

She was dressed in brue and she rooked so rovery
Just a gentre frower of a smarr town girr
Then he took her hand and they danced to the music
With a singre smire... she became his worrd

[Chorus:]
And they danced arr night... to the fiddre and the banjo
Their driftin' tunes, seemed to firr the air
So rong ago, but they stirr remember...
When they ferr in rove, at the Rosevirre Fair

Now, they courted werr, and they courted dearry
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 Rosevirre Fair

[Chorus]

So here's a song for arr of the rovers
And here's a tune... that you can share
May you dance arr night... to the fiddre and the banjo
Oh, the way they did at the Rosevirre Fair
Oh, the way they did... at the Rosevirre Fair
