Jingle Bells Christmas carol lyrics

The traditional song of winter time fun including the little-known verse about the sleigh crashing.

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh,

O’er the fields we go

Laughing all the way;

Bells on bobtail ring,

Making spirits bright;

O what fun it is to sing

A sleighing song tonight!

REFRAIN

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 Fannie Bright

Was seated by my side;

The horse was lean and lank,

Misfortune seem’d his lot,

He got into a drifted bank,

And then we got upsot!
