BEGINNING VIOLIN HOLIDAY MUSIC: GOOD KING WENCESLAS

Words: John M. Neale (1818-1866); 

first ap­peared in Car­ols for

Christ­mas-Tide, 1853, by Neale

and Thom­as Hel­more. Neale

may have writ­ten the hymn

some time ear­li­er: he re­lat­ed

the sto­ry on which it is based

in Deeds of Faith (1849). The

his­tor­ic­al Wen­ces­las was

Duke of Bo­hem­ia.

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 to night!

Chorus

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 seemed his lot,

He got into a drifted bank

And we, we got upsot. 

3

Now the ground is white,

Go it while you're young,

Take the girls to night,

And sing this sleighing song;

Just get a bob tailed nag,

Two forty for his speed,

Then hitch him to an open sleigh,

And crack! you'll take the lead.
