Pierpont Lyrics: Jingle Bells Writer(s): James S. Pierpont Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh Through 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. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride, in a one-horse open sleigh, O 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 ran into a drifted bank, and there we got upsot. 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 at me as I there sprawling laid, but quickly drove away. Now the ground is white, go it while you're young, Take the girls along, and sing this sleighing song. Just bet a bob-tailed bay, two-forty as his speed, Hitch him to an open sleigh, and crack! You'll take the lead. Contributed by Larry Henares of the Philippines {larryh@mydestiny.net} |
