| Of good Thanksgiving turkey | C |
| - | |
| And already still November | A |

| Heaven be thanked for one more year | E |
| And our Thanksgiving turkey | C |
| - | |
| Welcome brothers all our party | C |

| See around us drawing nearer | A |
| Those faint yearning shapes of air | L |
| Friends than whom earth holds none dearer | A |
| No alas they are not there | L |
| Have they then forgot to share | L |
| Our good Thanksgiving turkey | C |
| - | |
| Some have gone away and tarried | G |
| Strangely long by some strange wave | M |
| Some have turned to foes we carried | G |
| Some unto the pine girt grave | M |
| They 'll come no more so joyous brave | M |
| To take Thanksgiving turkey | C |
| - | |
| Nay repine not Let our laughter | A |
| Leap like firelight up again | N |
| Soon we touch the wide Hereafter | A |
| Snow field yet untrod of men | N |
| Shall we meet once more and when | N |
| To eat Thanksgiving turkey | C |
