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’s  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.
