Ricky Nelson - Jingle Bells lyrics

rate me

(James Pierpont - 1857)

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh

Over 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.

Chorus:

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!

O 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

He got into a drifted bank and we got upsot.

Chorus:

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!

O what fun 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.

Chorus:

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!

O what fun 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 his speed

Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! you'll take the lead.

Chorus:

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh...
