It is the yuletide Season again; talks of Christmas have filled the air as sweet-smelling savor. The jingles of bells are beginning to sound across streets. Everyone is super excited because the season comes with love, joy, and happiness. One of the most popular songs that fill the air is the Jingle Bells written by James Lord Pierpont. It is one of the best and commonly sung songs in the world today. Every year as the holiday season approaches the Jingle Bells to become of the most traditional Christmas songs that must be sung all over the world.
The sound of the jingles of a bell makes it more symbolic of Christmas. The Jingle bells song was not officially a Christmas song when it was sung but became associated with Christmas during the 1860s and 1870s and now when the Jingle Bells song is played both young and old dance to the rhythm of the song.
Lyrics of Jingle Bells by James Lord Pierpont.
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Balls on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight! Oh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh! What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh. Hey
Jingles 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 upset
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh! What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh. Hey
Jingles 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
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 Ah!
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
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh! What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh. Hey
Jingles bells, Jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh! What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
