Over the RivOver the River and Through the Woods - Michael Silverman

Over the river

And through the woods

To Grandmother’s house

We go

The horse knows the way

To carry the sleigh

Through white

And drifted 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

Over the river

And through the woods

To have a full day of play

Oh, hear the bells

Ringing ting-a-ling-ling

For it is Christmas Day

Over the river

And through the woods

Trot fast my dapple gray

Spring o’er the ground

Just like a hound

For this is Christmas Day

Over the river

And through the woods

And straight through

The barnyard gate

It seems that we go

So dreadfully slow

It is so hard to wait

Over the river

And through the woods

Now Grandma’s cap I spy

Hurrah for fun

The pudding’s done

Hurrah for the pumpkin pie
