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

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.

(part 1) (part 2) We’re on a sleigh We’re on a sleigh ride. ride. over the ice. (part 2) We’re on a sleigh ride. ride, over the ice.

(part 1) We’re on a sleigh ride. Isn’t it nice? (part 2) We’re on a sleigh ride. Isn’t it nice?

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

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