Through the fields we go laughing all the way.

Bells on bob-tail ring making spirits bright.

Additional Verses:

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,  
We ran into a drifted bank and there we got upset.

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.
