1. Over the River (a Partner Song)
Arranged with new words and music by Andy Beck

2. 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

3. 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.

6. See how the horses
gallop through the winter snow.
Whinny and neighing, I think they’re
saying,
“We’ve not very far to go.”

we’ll have lots of fun we know!
Grandmother chose her warm winter
clothes
for playing out in the snow.
