James Lord Pierpont publ. 1857 



(Jingle ling a ling, Ahhh)

(Jingle ling a ling, Ahhh)



Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh,

Oer 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



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



(Jingle ling a ling, Ahhh)

(Jingle ling a ling, Ahhh)



Now the ground is white

So go it while you're young,

Take the girls tonight

And sing this sleighing song;

Just get a bob-tailed nag

Two-forty for his speed

Hitch him to an open sleigh

And crack! you'll take the lead.



Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,

Jingle all the way!

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...
