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.

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.

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.
