Jingle Bells (Original 1857 Version)
Dashing thro' the snow
In a onehorse open sleigh
O'er the hills we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
O what sport to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what joy it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what 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
That horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank
And we' we got up sot
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what joy it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what joy it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
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
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what joy it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what joy it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
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 it's speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! You'll take the lead
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what joy it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what joy it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
In a onehorse open sleigh
O'er the hills we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
O what sport to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what joy it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what 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
That horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank
And we' we got up sot
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what joy it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what joy it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
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
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what joy it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what joy it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
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 it's speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! You'll take the lead
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what joy it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what joy it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
