Thanksgiving Songs
Over the River and Through the Woods
Over the river and thru the woods,
To grandmother's house we go;
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh,
Thru the drifted snow, oh!
Over the river and thru 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 thru the woods,
To have a first-rate day;
Oh, hear the bell ring,
"Ding-a-ling-ling!"
Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day-ay!
Over the river and thru the woods,
Trot fast my dapple gray!
Spring over the ground,
Like a hunting hound!
For this is Thanksgiving Day.
Five Fat Turkeys
Five fat turkeys sitting on a fence
The first one said," Oh, my I am immense!"
The second one said, "I can gobble at you"
The third one said, " I can gobble too"
The fourth one said, ""I can spread my tail"
The fifth one said, "Don't catch it on a nail"
The farmer came by and had to say,
"Turkeys look best on Thanksgiving Day!"
Count Your Blessings
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
