Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,
Am D7 ' G

Verse:
-----
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 upsot.
Oh!
Chorus
Verse:
-----
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 lay but quickly
drove away. Oh!
Chorus
Verse:
-----
Now the ground is white, go it while you're young
Take the girls along and sing this sleighing song
Just bet a bobtailed bay, Two forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! You'll take
the lead Oh!
Chorus
