The Pilgrims took a long long trip,
On the Mayflower , their sailing ship.
They landed ashore and struggled through
The long winter when the freezing winds blew.
Then Squanto a Native American,
Who knew how hard their life had been,
Had wanted to show, the way plants would grow,
It was something the Pilgrims needed to know.
The Pilgrims, the pilgrims,
Had come a long, long way,
The Pilgrims, the Pilgrims,
They had Thanksgiving Day.
Then the Pilgrims saw, in early Fall,
Their crops had grown up golden tall,
Their worries decreased, their food had increased,
They had the first Thanksgiving feast,
The Pilgrims, the Pilgrims,
Gave thanks in a special way.
The Pilgrims, the Pilgrims,
They
had Thanksgiving Day.
