I. B. WOODBURRY.

1. Jingle, jingle clear the way!
Tis the merry, merry sleigh
As it swiftly sends along,
Hear the burst of happy song,
See the gleam of glances bright
Flashing o'er the pathway white
Jingle jingle how it whirls!
Crowded full of laughing girls;

Chorus.
Jingle, jingle, jingle, jingle clear the way,
Tis the merry, merry, merry, merry, merry sleigh
Tis the merry, merry, merry, merry, merry sleigh

2. Jingle, jingle, on they go!
Caps and bonnets white with snow,
At the faces swimming past,
Nodding thro' the swimming blast,
Not a single robe they fold

Song Image
To protect them from the cold;
Jingle, jingle mid the storm,
Fur and frolic keep them warm.

Jingle, jingle, &c.

Jingle, jingle down the hills,
O'er the meadows, past the mills,
Now 'tis slow, now 'tis fast,
Winter will not always last;
Every pleasure has its time,
Spring will come and stop its chime!
Jingle, jingle, clear the way!
'Tis the merry, merry sleigh.

Jingle, jingle, &c.
