Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,
Through 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!




Oh, 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 ran 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 at me as I there sprawling laid, but quickly drove away.




Chorus


Now the ground is white, go it while you're young,
Take the girls along, and sing this sleighing song.
Just bet a bob-tailed bay, two-forty as his speed,


Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! You'll take the lead!
