A Jolly Christmas From Frank Sinatra
“Jingle Bells” is one of the most famous and commonly sung American songs worldwide. The song was written by James Lord Pierpont and was published under the title “One Horse Open Sleigh” in 1857.
There have been claims that the song was originally written to be sung by a Sunday school choir, but music historians have disputed this.
They say that the song is too racy and secular to be sung by a children’s choir in the days it was written.
“Jingle Bells” was initially written for the Thanksgiving season and it had no connection to Christmas.
It became connected with the holiday season and specifically Christmas after it was first performed on Washington Street in Boston 1857.
After this, some area choirs took the song and adopted it as a part of their collection in the 1860’s and 70’s. It was also featured in a range of college anthologies and parlor songs in the 1880’s.
The song was first recorded on an Edison cylinder in 1889.There are still questions of where and when the song was composed by Pierpont.
There is a plaque at the 19 high street in Medford Square Massachusetts that commemorates the birthplace of Jingle bells, and it claims the song was written there.
The song “Jingle Bells” was copyrighted on 16 September 1857 with the name “One Horse Open Sleigh”. Frank Sinatra was one of the most famous and influential pop artists of the 20th century and he left a legacy.
The song is mostly played around Christmas and is one of the most famous songs for the holiday season.
Frank is one of the best-selling artists of all time and he has sold more than 150 million records across the world. The song has more than 6 million views on YouTube.

Album - A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Through 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.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, o
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh 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,
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.
