What is the full song of Jingle Bells?

Answer 1

"Jingle Bells"by James Lord Pierpont (1822-1893)

Published originally as "One Horse Open Sleigh" an September 16, 1857

It was first written to commemorate Thanksgiving.

Dashing through the snow

On a one horse open sleigh,

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way.

Bells on bobtail ring,

Making spirits bright;

What fun it is to laugh and sing

A sleighing song tonight!

(chorus)

Jingle Bells, jingle bells,

jingle all the way.

Oh! what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh.

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,

He got into a drifted bank

And then we got upsot.

(repeat chorus)

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.

(repeat chorus)

Now the ground is white,

Go it while you're young;

Take the girls tonight

And sing this sleighing song.

Just get a bobtailed bay

Two-forty as his speed,

Hitch him to an open sleigh

And crack! you'll take the lead.

(repeat chorus)
