All day long we have been climbing'
Learning's ladder, steep and tall;

And we bid you all good night,
As we turn our footsteps homeward, homeward
all.

A Jolly Fair Song. (Sung by the Ithaca School at the Gratiot County Fair of 1878. Tune, "Wait for the Wagon." Pat's Pick, page 34.) A song! hurrah I my jolly friends, "" Let's make our country ring; True hearts will echo everywhere The merry lay we sing. Let men and women, boys and girls, And peddlers with us, too, Lift high their tuneful voices, A merry, happy crew. Chorus— Hurrah for our county! three cheers for our county, Hurrah for [1]starving Gratiot, the county of the State. We've laid aside our toils and cares, And come down here today And see the fair of county fairs. And have a holiday.
- ↑ "Starving Gratiot" can be changed to suit the occasion, as "thriving Clinton," "Old Wayne County." "Shiawassee," etc.
