HISTORY OF JINGLE BELLS
“Jingle Bells” is one of the best know and most common song sung in the winter in all the world. It was written by James Lord Pierpont (1822-1893) and published with the title “One Horse Open Sleigh” in autumn of 1857. Even though it is thought of as a Christmas song, it was really written and sung for Thanksgiving. It seems it was mistakenly branded as a Christmas song because it was extremely popular at Thanksgiving, and people continued to sing it again around Christmas. READ MORE HERE
LYRICS TO JINGLE BELLS
The first verse and chorus are the most well-known sections of “Jingle Bells”:
Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh O’er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bobtail ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to laugh 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.
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 then we got upsot. CHORUS
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
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
