Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells is one of the most famous and commonly sung American songs in the world. Originally titled "One Horse Open Sleigh," it was written by James Lord Pierpont in 1857. Although it is now closely associated with the Christmas and holiday season, the song was originally composed for Thanksgiving.
The song's lyrics celebrate the fun and excitement of riding in a sleigh through the snow, often led by a horse. The chorus, with its iconic "jingle bells" refrain, is particularly well-known and often sung in a festive, celebratory manner.
Over the years, Jingle Bells has been recorded and performed by a multitude of artists in various styles, and its melody and lyrics have become a staple of the winter holiday season, particularly in Western cultures.

Jingle Bells Lyrics
Verse 1
Dashing through the snow
In 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 ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight! Oh!
Chorus
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
Oh! what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh. Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.
Verse 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 then we got upsot.
(Chorus)
Verse 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. Ah!
(Chorus)
Verse 4
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.
