Happy Thanksgiving!

Over the river and through the wood
To grandfather's house we go.
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow.

Over the river and through the wood
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 wood
To have a first-rate play.
Hear the bells ring,
Ting-a-ling-ling!
Hurray for Thanksgiving Day!

Over the river and through the wood,
Trot fast, my dapple gray!
Spring over the ground
Like a hunting hound.
For this is Thanksgiving Day!

Over the river and through the wood,
And straight throught the barnyard gate.
We seem to go
Extremely slow
It is so hard to wait!

Over the river and through the wood
Now grandmother's cap I spy!
Hurrah for fun!
Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!
