 Julebogen: Bjældeklang / Jingle Bells

1) Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh;
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way;
Bells are bobtail ring,
Making spirits bright;
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song
tonight!
|:Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
O! 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 upset.
|:Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
O! what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.:|

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 for his speed,
Then hitch him to an open sleigh,
And crack! you’ll take the lead.
|:Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
O! what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.:|
