JINGLE BELLS
       
(Etats-Unis)

REFRAIN

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh. Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.
 
COUPLETS
 
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh,
O'er the fields we go,
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtails ring,
Making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight. Oh!
 
A day or two ago,
I thought I'd take a ride,
And soon Miss Fannie 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.
 
Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls tonight,
And sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed bay,
Two forty as his speed.
Hitch him to an open sleigh,
And crack, you'll take the lead.
