Lyrics to 'Jingle Jingle Jingle' by Burl Ives. / Jingle, jingle, jingle / You will hear my sleigh bells ring / I am old Kris. Burl Ives - Jingle Jangle Jingle Lyrics. Eve I won't pass you by I'll dash away in my magic sleigh Flying through the sky Jingle, jingle, jingle You will hear my sleigh bells.
Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh Through 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.Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh, O 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 BrightWas seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank Misfortune seemed his lot, We ran into a drifted bank And there we got upsot. 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 at me as I there sprawling laid But quickly drove away. Now the ground is white,Go it while you're young, Take the girls along And sing this sleighing song. Just bet a bob-tailed bay, Two-forty as his speed, Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! You'll take the lead.
