Christmas/Holiday Duets - Over The River And Through The Woods

[rrayner]

"Over The River And Through The Woods" is a "traditional" holiday song. The composer is not known, but the popular lyrics were written by Lydia Maria Child. I remember being taught this song in grade school in the late '40s. To us, it was a Thanksgiving Song,

Although this score repeats twice, I have only included the first verse as the lyrics. Like many "traditional" songs, subsequent verses don't always match the meter of the music. If you like to see more of the lyrics, check the Internet - one pretty decent link is:
