A MERRY CHRISTMAS AT GRANDMOTHER'S
(Traditional)

Danny Kaye & The Andrews Sisters - 1951


Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother's house we go
The horses await to carry the sleigh
Through the white and drifting snow

Over the river and through the woods
Oh how the wind does blow
It stings the toes and bites the nose
As over the ground we go

Oh, over the river and through the woods
Now Grandmother's cap I spy
Hurrah for the fun, is the pudding done
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie

Over the river and through the woods
And straight to the farmyard gate
Spring over the ground like a hunting hound
For this is Christmas day

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Hark the bells are ringing
Hear the children singing
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas and a Glad New Year

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Hark the bells are ringing
Hear the children singing
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas and a Glad New Year

Oh, over the river and through the woods
We must hurry, we mustn't be late
We seem to be going extremely slow
It is so hard to wait

Over the river and through the woods
Oh, how the wind does blow
Hurrah for the fun, is the pudding done
For this is Christmas day

Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
Hark, all the bells are ringing
Hear the children singing

Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry Christmas and a Glad New Year

Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
And a Glad New Year
