Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh

Over the fields we go

Laughing all the way.

Bells on bob-tail ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight.

Chorus:

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way,

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh, O

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way,

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh.

A day or two ago

I thought I’d take a ride

And soon Miss Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side;

The horse was lean and lank

Misfortune seemed his lot,

We got into a drifted bank

And there we got upsot.

Chorus

A day or two ago

The story I must tell

I went out on the snow

And on my back I fell;

A gent was riding by

In a one-horse open sleigh

He laughed as there I sprawling lie

But quickly drove away.

Chorus

Now the ground is white,

Go it while you’re young,

Take the girls tonight

And sing this sleighing song.

Just get a bob-tailed bay,

Two-forty for his speed,

Then hitch him to an open sleigh

And crack! You’ll take the lead.
