Bluegrass  Jingle  Bells

The song "Jingle Bells,"
Words & Music by James Pierpont, 1859

1.)   Dashing through the snow,
       in a one horse open sleigh,
       O'er 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 to-night

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


2.)  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
       He got into a drifted bank,
       And we, we got upsot (chorus)

3.)  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 (chorus)

4.)  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 as his speed
       Hitch him to an open sleigh
       And crack! you'll take the lead (chorus)
