Artist: Burl Ives   Title: Jingle Bells   ---------------------------      Dashing through the snow    In a one-horse open sleigh    Through the fields we go    Laughing all the way.    Bells on bob-tail ring    Making spirits bright    What fun it is to ride and sing    A sleighing song tonight.      Chorus:    Jingle bells, jingle bells    Jingle all the way,    Oh what fun it is to ride    In a one-horse open sleigh, O    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.    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 at me as    I there sprawling laid    But quickly drove away.    Now the ground is white,    Go it while you're young,    Take the girls along    And sing this sleighing song.    Just bet a bob-tailed bay,    Two-forty as his speed,    Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack!    You'll take the lead.
