To grand-fa-ther's house we go;

The horse knows the way

-2” 2  2   2    2

To car-ry the sleigh,

And bites the nose,

-4 5  5  -5     5   -4 4
As o-ver 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.
