The people gathered 'round, the Fbands were Ctuning
I can Fhear them Gnow, playing 'Coming Through The CRye'

You were dressed in blue, you Flooked so Clovely
Just a Fgentle Gflower of a smalltown Cgirl
You took my hand, we Fdanced to the Cmusic
With a Fsingle Gsmile, you became my Cworld 
[CHORUS:]
And we danced all Fnight to the Gfiddle and the Cbanjo-Go
Their drifting Ftunes Gseemed to fill the Cair
So long aFgo, I Gstill reCmembGer
When we fell in Flove Gat the Roseville CFair
[VERSE 3:]
We courted well, we Fcourted Cdearly
We'd Fsit for Ghours in the front porch Cchair
A year went by from the Ftime that I Cmet you
And I Fmade you Gmine at the Roseville CFair 
[CHORUS:]
And we danced all Fnight to the Gfiddle and the Cbanjo-Go
Their drifting Ftunes Gseemed to fill the Cair
So long aFgo, I Gstill reCmembGer
When we fell in Flove Gat the Roseville CFair

May they dance all Fnight to the Gfiddle and the Cbanjo-Go
