FDashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sA#leigh

Refrain
FJingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way !
A#Oh what fun itF is to ride in aG one-horse openC sleigh, hey !
FJingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way !
A#Oh what fun itF is to ride in C7a one-horse openF sleigh !
A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride
And soon miss Fanny Bright was sitting by my side
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank and we got upset.
A day or two ago, the story I must tell
I went out in 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 lied but quickly drove away.
Now the ground is white, go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight and sing a sleighing song
Just get a bob-tailed bay, two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to a open sleigh and, crack ! you'll take the lead.
