Lyrics[]
- 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
- Oh 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, hey
- 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 pumpkin pie.
