Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O\'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob taila[›] ring (Or Hear our voices ring)
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing (Or What fun it is to ride and sing)
A sleighing song tonight
(chorus)
|: Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what fun [joy] 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 then we [we—we] got upsotb[›].
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 fortyc[›] as [for] his speed
[and] Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! you\'ll take the lead. |
