Joe Offer Origin: Over the River and through the Woods (20) RE: Origin: Over the River and through the Woods 22 Nov 17


The little girl next door stopped by this afternoon and asked if I had lyrics for "Over the River and Through the Woods." I printed her a copy of the four-verse version from the Digital Tradition; and she skipped off singing, pleased to have one or two verses she hadn't known.

What would her family think of me if I had given her the 12-verse version I posted above in 2001? I couldn't give it to her because I botched it up when I was trying to make it more printable. But Max made some major fixes to Mudcat today and I was able to fix the 12-verse version into even better shape that it had been when I first posted it.

So, I'm very thankful for Max, and for Mudcat, and for the little, 8-year-old girl next door who sings.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
