| Thanksgiving Song | |
| from Happy Jack by Thornton W. Burgess (1918) | |
|
Thanksgiving comes but once a year, But when it comes it brings good cheer. For in my storehouse on this day Are piles of good things hid away. Each day I’ve worked from early morn To gather acorns, nuts, and corn, Till now I’ve plenty and to spare Without a worry or a care. So light of heart the whole day long, I’ll sing a glad Thanksgiving song.
