2. 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 we, we got upsot.
Chorus: Oh! Jingle bells, … 2x
3. 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: Oh! Jingle bells, … 2x
4. 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.
Chorus: Oh! Jingle bells, … 2x
