Are you thinking of:

Over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go.
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh through light and drifting snow.
Over the river and through the woods, trot fast, my dapple-grey.
Hurrah for the fun! Is the pudding done? Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day!

Or there's OVER THE RIVER, CHARLIE

Over the river to feed my sheep,
Over the river, Charlie,
Over the river to feed my sheep
And to measure up my barley.

Charlie's neat and Charlie's sweet, and Charlie, he's a dandy.
Charlie, he's the very lad that stole my striped candy.

Don't want your wheat, don't want your cheat,
And neither do I want your barley;
But I'll take a little of the best you've got
To bake a cake for Charlie.
