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
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
