A Place to Give Thanks

Over the river, and through the wood,

To Merry Mount away!

We would not stop for doll or top,

for 'tis Thanksgiving Day.

Over the river, and through the wood—

and straight through the barnyard gate,

We seem to go extremely slow,

it is so hard to wait!

Over the river, and through the wood—

To Paddy’s house to play,

He will say, "Let’s shoot today!”

As out to the field we go.

Over the river, and through the wood—

To Granmama's house we fly!

Hurrah for the fun! Is the turkey done?

Hurrah for the pecan pie!

Over the river, and through the wood,

To Merry Mount we’ll stay!

We’ll bless the food in a Merry mood,

for 'tis Thanksgiving Day.
