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, it bites the nose

As over the ground we go.

Over the river and through the woods

Trot fast my dapple gray

Spring over the ground like hunting hounds

Upon this christmas day.

Over the river and through the woods

And straight through the barnyard gate

We seem to go extremely slow

It's just so hard to wait.

Over the river and through the woods

Over the river and through the woods

The river, we go home

Over the river and through the woods

We go.
