Over the river and through the woods,
To grandfather's house we'll go;
The horse knows the way 
To carry the sleigh
Through the 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-ding!"
Hurrah 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 through 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 the fun!
Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the Pumpkin Pie!

There's nothing more fun than going to Grandma's House!
