Over the river and through the woods
To grandmother's house, we go
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow
Over the river and through the woods
Oh, how the wind does blow
It stings the toes and bites the nose
As over the ground, we go
Over the river and through the woods
To have a first-rate play
Oh, hear the bells ring, Ting-a-ling-ling
Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day
Over the river and through the woods
Trot fast, my dapple gray
Spring over the ground
Like a hunting hound
For this is Thanksgiving Day
Over the river and through the woods
And straight through the barnyard gate
We seem to go extremely slow
It is so hard to wait
Over the river and through the woods
Now Grandmother's cap I spy
Hurrah for the fun! Is the pudding done
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie
