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 rideIn 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.

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.

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.
