Jingle Bells Sheet Music/Score

Jingle Bells is one of the most popular Christmas songs (it is not a Christmas carol). Jingle Bells was originally entitled “One Horse Open Sleigh”. The author, James Pierpont (and American songwriter and composer), never made any money from his composition, as it never became popular during his lifetime. In its originally published sheet music version Jingle Bells had a different, much less joyful chorus, and it is not known who replaced it with the now more commonly sung version. All in all there are four verses to Jingle Bells:

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.

Chorus
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
