 Weihnachtslieder: 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.
