Over the river and through the woods
To Grandma's House we go.
We know the way
To go today
To Grandma's house. Hoo-ray ay!

Over the river and through the woods
To Grandma's house we go.
To play with the toys
And Make lots of noise
And give Grandma a hug and a kiss!

Original Version

Over the river and thru the wood,
To grandfather's house we go;
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh,
Thru the white and drifted snow, oh!
Over the river and thru 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 thru the wood,
To have a first-rate play;
Oh, hear the bell ring,
"Ting-a-ling-ling!"
Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day-ay!
Over the river and thru the wood,
Trot fast my dapple gray!
Spring over the ground,
Like a hunting hound!
For this is Thanksgiving Day.
