Jingle Bells
George Jones · Lonely Christmas Call (Various Artists) [1989]
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.
Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go laughin' all the way
Bells on bob tails ring making spirits bright
Oh, what fun it is to laugh 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
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 was his lot
We got into a drifted bank and then we got upsot.
Oh, 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.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh...
