Jingle Bells

Or the one horse open sleigh

Text und Melodie: James Lord Pierpont (1850)

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 got upsot.

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.

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 for his speed,

Then hitch him to an open sleigh, and crack! You’ll take the lead.
