Nifty Site for Looking up Words to Christmas Carols
Posted by Ellen · December 19th, 2007Recently, I have been driving in my car or working around the house singing Christmas carols, then suddenly I realize I cannot remember all the words, and I get stuck. My kids are often left waiting in suspense because they are listening to every word that I am singing, and the songs come to an abrupt halt when I forget the lyrics. I made a pledge to purchase an actual book of Christmas Carols but I found something better online.
Many thanks to the Mike Leal who has posted a complete index of all Christmas carol song and lyrics. This is one of the most comprehensive lists of Christmas songs that I have ever seen and most of the songs I have never seen or heard before.
The best part is when I sing Jingle Bells, now I can sing more than just the first verse.
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh
Over 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
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
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;
He got into a drifted bank and we got upsot
(Chorus)
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 as there I sprawling lie but quickly drove away
(Chorus)
Now the ground is white, go it while you’re young
Take the girls tonight, and sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed bay, two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! you’ll take the lead
(Chorus)
