Over the river and through the woods,
To grandfather′s house we go.
Through the white and drifting 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.
Hooray for Thanksgiving Day!
Over the river and through the woods,
Trot fast, my dapple gray!
For this is Thanksgiving Day.
