There aren't nearly as many Thanksgiving songs as there are Christmas ones.
This is mine (you need to put aside some time to listen to it - more than 18 minutes long). It's by Arlo Guthrie, son of the famous folk musician Woody Guthrie. I think I first heard it when delivering newspapers in high school (I drove a car to deliver, since it was the suburbs and there were 300+ newspapers on my route). This song was playing and seemed to keep going and going. It's a song about Thanksgiving, and also anti-war protest.
Anyway, Alice Brock, one of the inspirations for the song, died the other day, so it seems apropos to celebrate her with this song that made her famous. It does contain a single slur for homosexual men at one point, but not really meant maliciously.
