Merle Haggard - Jingle Bells (1973) lyrics

Dashing through the snow In a one horse open sleigh Through the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on 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 Oh what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh Oh 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 We ran into a drifted bank And there we got upshot 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 at me as I there sprawling laid But quickly drove away Now the ground is white Go it while you're young Take the girls along And sing this sleighing song Just bet a bobtailed bay Two forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack, you'll take the lead
