G C
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,
D7 G
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way,
G C
Bells on bobtails ring, making spirits bright,
D7 G
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight, oh
Chorus:
G G7
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
C G A7 D D7
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, hey,
G G7
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
C G D7 G
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Other verses:
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, 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 as there
I sprawling lie,
But quickly drove away.
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.
James Pierpont - 1857
