在北美，感恩节是除圣诞节之外最重要的节日；而这一天去奶奶或外婆家过节是最传统的。在这首儿歌里，我们在尽享美丽乡村景色的同时，也会被孩子们对节日和美食的雀跃和兴奋所感染。

Over the river and through the woods,
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 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 through the woods,
To have a first-rate play.
Hear the bells ring,"Ting-a-ling-ding,"
Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day!

Over the river and through the woods,
Trot fast, my dapple gray!
Spring over the ground like a hunting hound,
For this is Thanksgiving Day.

Over the river and through the woods,
And straight through the barnyard gate;
We seem to go extremely slow,
It is so hard to wait!

Over the river and through the woods--
Now Grandmother's cap I spy!
Hurrah for the fun! It the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!
