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 through the barn-yard 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?
Hurrah for the pumpkin-pie
