In 1880, Pierpont's son, Dr. Juriah Pierpont, M.D., renewed the copyright on "Jingle Bells" but he never made much money from it. It took considerable effort to keep his father's name permanently attached to the song after the copyright expired.
From 1890 to 1954, “Jingle Bells” was in the top 25 of the most recorded songs in history.

Jingle Bells
James Lord Pierpont Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the hills we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
Oh what sport to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
O what joy 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 Fannie 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.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
O what joy it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
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,
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
O what joy 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 is his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! You'll take the lead.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
O what joy it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
The song "Jingle Bells" is a classic Christmas tune that celebrates the joys of sleigh riding through the snow. The opening stanza paints a vivid picture of the experience, with the singer dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh, laughing with friends and enjoying the sound of bells ringing on the horse's bobtail. The chorus, with its catchy refrain of "jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way," captures the joyful spirit of the season and the sense of exhilaration that comes from moving at high speed through the countryside.
The second and third stanzas of the song introduce a narrative component, with the singer recounting two different incidents involving sleigh rides gone awry. In the first, the horse gets stuck in a snowdrift and the passengers are thrown from the sleigh. In the second, the singer falls down in the snow while a passing sleigh rider laughs and drives away. These incidents add a touch of humor to the song and reinforce the sense of adventure and excitement that comes with sleigh riding.
Overall, "Jingle Bells" is a fun, upbeat song that captures the spirit of the holiday season and the joy of spending time with loved ones. Its catchy melody and memorable lyrics have made it a beloved classic that continues to be enjoyed by people all around the world.

Dashing through the snow
We’re riding quickly through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
We’re riding in an open sleigh pulled by one horse
O'er the hills we go
We’re going over the hills
Laughing all the way.
We’re laughing while we ride
Bells on bobtail ring
The bells on the horse's harness are ringing
Making spirits bright
The sound of the bells is making everyone happy
Oh what sport to ride and sing
It’s so much fun to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
We’re singing while we ride tonight
Jingle bells, jingle bells
The sound of the bells is a jingling noise
Jingle all the way!
We’re making that jingling noise the whole way
O what joy it is to ride
Riding is so much fun
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Especially in this type of open sleigh
A day or two ago
A few days ago
I thought I'd take a ride
I decided to go for a ride
And soon Miss Fannie Bright
A lady named Fannie Bright joined me soon after
Was seated by my side.
She was sitting next to me in the sleigh
The horse was lean and lank
The horse was skinny and looked sickly
Misfortune seemed his lot
The horse looked like it had bad luck
He got into a drifted bank
The horse got stuck in a snowbank
And we — we got upsot.
The sleigh tipped over and we fell out
The story I must tell
Let me tell you about something that happened
I went out on the snow
I went outside into the snow
And on my back I fell;
I slipped and fell on my back
A gent was riding by
A man was riding by in a sleigh
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Just like the one we ride in
He laughed as there I sprawling lie,
He laughed at me as I lay there sprawled out
But quickly drove away,
And then he quickly drove away
Now the ground is white
The snow has covered the ground
Go it while you're young,
Let’s take advantage of the opportunity while we’re young
Take the girls tonight
Invite the ladies tonight
And sing this sleighing song:
And we’ll sing this song while sleighing
Just get a bobtailed bay
Get a horse with a short tail
Two forty is his speed
He’s a fast horse that can run at 240 miles per hour
Hitch him to an open sleigh
Attach him to a sleigh with no roof
And crack! You'll take the lead.
And off you’ll go, taking the lead in the race
