“Jingle Bells” is one of the most well-known and widely performed American songs in the world. It was written by James Lord Pierpont (1822-1893) and published as “One Horse Open Sleigh” in the autumn of 1857. It has been reported that it was originally created for a Sunday school choir; however, historians argue that it was far too “racy” (and secular) to be sung by a children’s church choir in the days when it was written.

The well-enchanted song is his most recent offering after releasing earlier songs this year.

Hopefully, the widespread acceptance of this record will propel the Afro-classic crooner to new heights.

LYRICS

[Verse 1]

Dashing through the snow On a one horse open sleigh O’er the fields we go, Laughing all the way Bells on bob tail ring, making spirits bright What fun it is to laugh 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

Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh

[Verse 2]

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

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.

Oh, What fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh.
