I Wish I May, I Wish I Might

Carrie Newcomer

Sweet Corn Days in Oakland City
The Apple Fest in Nappanee
The Blueberry Cavalcade
The Sacred Heart Polish Days
Oktoberfest in Rensselaer
Marshmallow Days in Ligonier
The Feast of the Hunter's Moon
The Pork and Pumpkin Rendezvous

At this year's county fair
All our friends will be there
Gather kin and cousins near
And everything we love is here

Soybean Fest in Rising Sun
Scarecrow Days in Wanatah
The Bean Blossom Jamboree
Maple Syrup Fest in Wawasee
Popcorn Fair in Versailles
The Mennonite Relief Quilt Sale
A fish fry, gala, holiday
Covered Bridge and Dogwood Days

There'll be fireworks and lemonade
A tractor pull and fine parade
There'll be a gospel jubilee
Right before they crown the sausage queen

Bingo games and polka bands
Arts and crafts made by hand
Pierogies, sweet corn on a stick
Carnival rides think of it
Now I am grown and miles away
From apple nights and limestone days
I wish I may I wish I might
Be at the county fair tonight
