over the river and through the woods

over the river and through the woods

to grandmother's house we go/the horse

knows the way to carry the sleigh/through

the white and drifty [that's how we sang it]

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

may your holiday

be full of blessings

and your heart

full of joy
