Jingle Bells Lyrics To ~Sing A Long~
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride, In a one-horse open sleigh,
Hey! 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 ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
In a one-horse open sleigh ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
O'er the fields we go ( o'er the fields, jingle, jingle! )
Laughin' all the way!
Bells on bob-tail ring ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Makin' spirits bright ( la, la, la la! )
What fun it is to ride an' 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,
Hey! 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 ( a day or two ago . . . )
I thought I'd take a ride (I thought I'd take a ride . . . )
And soon miss fanny bride ( and soon miss fanny bride . . . )
Was seated by my side . . . ( the horse was lean and lank )
Misfortune seemed his lot,
He got into a drifted bank,
And we . . .
We got up sot! Oh! jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
( oh what fun it is to ride . . . ) In a one-horse open sleigh
Hey! Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
(oh what fun it is to ride . . . ) In a one-horse open sleigh
Hey! Now the ground is white ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Go it while you're young ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Take the girls tonight ( take the girls tonight . . . )
And sing this sleighing song
Just get a bob-tailed nag ( jingle, jing, jing, jingle! )
Two-forty for his speed
Then hitch
An' crack you'll take the lead! Oh! jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride, In a one-horse open sleigh,
Hey! Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride . . . In a one-horse open sleigh!
"Jingle Bells" is one of the best known and commonly sung winter songs in the world. It was written by James Lord Pierpont (1822-1893) and copyrighted under the title 'One Horse Open Sleigh' on September 16, 1857. Despite being inextricably connected to Christmas, it is not specifically a Christmas song. It is one of many "joyful songs" written in New England during the late 19th century.
