a blast from the past

If this doesn't get you in the mood for Thanksgiving - nothing will.



over the river and through the wood
to grandfather's house we go
~the horse knows the way
~to carry the sleigh
through the white and drifted snow

over the river and through the wood
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 wood
to have a first-rate play
~hear the bells ring
~-'ting-a-ling-ding!'

Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day!


Over the River and Through The Wood
Trot Fast my Dapple-Gray!
~Spring Over The Ground
~Like a Hunting Hound!

For This is Thanksgiving Day.


OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOOD
AND STRAIGHT FOR THE BARNYARD GATE
~WE SEEM TO GO
~EXTREMELY SLOW, -
IT IS SO HARD TO WAIT!



OVER  THE  RIVER  AND  THROUGH  THE   WOOD -


NOW  GRANDMOTHER'S  CAP  I  SPY!


~HURRAH  FOR  THE  FUN!

~IS  THE  PUDDING   DONE?


H U R R A H   F O R  T H E  P U M P K I N   P I E  ! ! !
