JINGLE BELLS

Writer James S. Pierpont



Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh! Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh, O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way. Bells on bobbed tails ring, making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way... 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. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way... 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 I was sprawling laid, but quickly drove away. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way... Now the ground is white. Go it while you're young. Take the girls tonight, and sing the sleighing song. Just get a bob-tail bay, two-forty for his speed, Then hitch him to an open sleigh, and Crack! you'll take the lead. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way...
