JINGLE BELLS
by: John Pierpont (1785-1866)
- ASHING thro' the snow
- In a one-horse open sleigh,
- O'er 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!
-
- (Refrain)
- Jingle Bells! Jingle Bells!
- Jingle all the way!
- Oh, what fun it is to ride
- In an one-horse open sleigh!
-
- Day or two ago
- I thought I'd take a ride,
- And soon Miss Fannie Bright
- Was seated by my side;
- The horse was lean and lank,
- Misfortune seem'd his lot,
- He got into a drifted bank,
- And we, we got upsot.
-
- (Refrain)
-
- 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 nag,
- Two-forty for his speed,
- Then hitch him to an open sleigh,
- And crack! you'll take the lead.
-
- (Refrain)
