Dashing through the snow, in
a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tails 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!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open
sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the
way!
O 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;
He got into a drifted bank and 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 as his
speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack!
you'll take the lead
(Chorus)
