Lyrics

JINGLE BELLS
Traditional Carol
Musical Arrangement: Alexander James Adams

Dashing through the snow,
In a one-horse open sleigh,
O’r the fields we go,
Laughing all the way-
Bells on bob-tail ring,
Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride a 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!

A day or two ago
I thought I’d take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Brice
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-tail nag
Two-forty for his speed
Then hitch him to an open sleigh
And “Crack” you’ll take the lead!
