Jingle Bells (Canticle)

1. Dashing thro' the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tails 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
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 at my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
he got into and drifted back, and we we've got upset.

3. Now the ground is white
Go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song
Just get a bobtail'd bay
Twoforty for his speed
Then hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! You'll take the lead.
