Title: 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.



Chorus: 

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. 

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.
