Over the River and through the Wood (Thanksgiving Version) - The Tabernacle Choir
The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square perform the Thanksgiving version of the traditional song "Over the River and through the Wood," arranged by Ryan Murphy.
Lyrics:
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,
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,
With a clear blue winter sky,
The dogs do bark and children hark,
As we go jingling by.
Over the river, and through the wood,
to have a day of play!
Oh, hear the bells ring,"Ting-a-ling,"
For 'tis Thanksgiving Day!
For 'tis Thanksgiving Day!
Over the river, and through the wood,
No matter for winds that blow;
Or if we get the sleigh upset
into a bank of 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!
For 'tis Thanksgiving Day!
For 'tis Thanksgiving Day!
