Jingle Bells

"Jingle Bells" is one of the best-known and commonly sung American wintertime songs in the world. It was written by James Lord Pierpont (1822–1893) and published under the title "One Horse Open Sleigh" in the autumn of 1857. Even though it is now associated with the Christmas and holiday season, it was actually originally written for American Thanksgiving. It has been claimed that it was originally written to be sung by a Sunday school choir; however, historians dispute this, stating that it was much too "racy" to be sung by a children's church choir in the days it was written.

Composition

It is an unsettled question where and when James Lord Pierpont originally composed the song that would become known as "Jingle Bells". A plaque at 19 High Street in the center of Medford Square in Medford, Massachusetts commemorates the "birthplace" of "Jingle Bells," and claims that Pierpont wrote the song there in 1850, at what was then the Simpson Tavern. According to the Medford Historical Society, the song was inspired by the town's popular sleigh races during the 19th century.

    Hammer and a nail
    Hammer and a nail
    Saint behind the glass
    Holds a hammer and a nail
    Baby in his arms
    Baby in his arms
    Saint behind the glass
    Has a baby in his arms
    Watches me sleep
    Watches me sleep
    Saint behind the glass
    Watches me while I sleep
    Coffee in the air
    Coffee in the air
    Saint behind the glass
    Smells coffee in the air
    Curtains blowing 'round
    Curtains blowing 'round
    Saint behind the glass
    Sees curtains blowing 'round
    Night upon my head
    Night upon my head
    Saint behind the glass
    Lays night upon my head
    Mother don't cry
    Mother don't cry
    Saint behind the glass
    Tells mother not to cry
