Over the River and Through the Woods

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.

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

Hark the bells are ringing

Hear the children singing

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

Gather all your friends around and wish them well

Over the river and through the woods

To have a full day of play

Hear the bells ring, "Ting-a-ling-ling!"

For it is Christmas Day

Over the river and through the woods

Trot fast, my dapple grey

Spring over the ground just like a hound

For this is Christmas day!

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

Hark the bells are ringing

Hear the children singing

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

Gather all your friends around and wish them well

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

Hurray for fun, the pudding’s done

Hurray for the pumpkin pie

Over the river and through the woods

To Grandmother’s house we go!
