Thanksgiving Song


 gif

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.
