Over the river, and through the wood To grandmother'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 Trot fast, my dapple-gray! Spring over the ground like a hunting-hound! For 'tis thanksgiving day She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes, (when she comes) She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes, (oh when she comes) She'll be coming 'round the mountain She'll be coming 'round the mountain (oh yeah she's coming) She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes, (when she comes). Oh, oh, oh America!
