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 drifted snow, O!
…
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.

Listen as female American:

Listen as male American:

Optional Additional Verses:

Over the river and through the woods,
Trot fast my dapple gray.
Spring over the ground like a hunting hound
On this Thanksgiving Day, Hey!

Over the river and through the woods,
Now Grandmother’s face I spy.
Hurrah for the fun, is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!
