OVER THE RIVER AND TRHOUGH THE WOODS
Trad. Thanksgiving song
Key: C
Time: 6/8

3  3   3   3  2  -2   3    3    3
O-ver the riv-er and thru the woods,
3    4   4    4     -4   -3 3 
To grand-fa-ther's house we go;
 3   -2    -2   -2  -2
The horse knows the way
-2  2  2   2    2
To car-ry the sleigh,
 2    2   -1   -1   -1   -1  -1   3
Thru the white and drift-ed snow, oh!
3  3   3  3   2  -2   3    3    3 
O-ver the ri-ver and thru the woods,
3    4   4   -4   -3   3
Oh, how the wind does blow!
3    4     4   -4
It stings the toes,
-3    3    2   1
And bites the nose,
-1 2  2  -2     2   -1 1
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.
