"Jingle Bells", originally "One Horse Open Sleigh", is one of the best known and commonly sung secular Christmas songs in the world. It was written in 1857 by James Pierpont (1822-1893) to be sung at a Thanksgiving program at his church in Savannah, Georgia. (Wikipedia)

The oldest version I got is from Christmas legend Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters (1956). But I personally prefer the version of Jim Reeves (1963) above all of all other versions.

I'm not sure.

I got it from someone else

How do the lyrics for Jingle Bells go?

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. Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bobtails ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to laugh 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. Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way; Oh! 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 bobtailed bay Two forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack! you'll take the lead. 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 Jingle Jingle all the way; Oh! what fun it is to ride In a one-horse...
