Jingle Bells
(Public Domain)

I Love those J-I-N-G-L-E Bells
Those holiday J-I-N-G-L-E Bells
I love those J-I-N-G-L-E B-E-double L-S
I Love those J-I-N-G-L-E Bells
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 ride and sing a sleighing song tonight, oh

Ch:
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, hey,
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. CH

Now the ground is white - go it while you're young
take the girls tonight and sing a sleighing song




Just get a bobtail nag - 244 his speed
hitch him to an open sleigh and CRACK, he'll take the lead CH
