Verse 1
Chorus Verse 2 Verse 3 |
Dashing through the snow In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bob tails ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to laugh and sing A sleighing song tonight Oh, 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 got into a drifted bank And then we got upsot 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-forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack! you'll take the lead |

Wikipedia states that Jingle Bells" is one of the best-known and commonly sung American Christmas songs in the world. It was written by James L. Pierpont (1822–1893) and published under the title "One Horse Open Sleigh" in the autumn of 1857. Even though it is now associated with the Christmas and holiday season, it was actually originally written for American Thanksgiving." Check this site for more information.
