Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Over River Thru Woods - All 3 Verses

I believe that Lydia Marie Child originally wrote it as a poem. I don't know when it was set to music or by whom. The verses in the DT are the ones that are usually sung. I've been singing it for the past 2 weeks at school and I'm done with it for this year- whoopee!!
