Gliding down the hill-sdes,
O'er the frosty SNOW
Sliding through the valleys,
Jingling as we go
Happy voices inining
IN noisy Law;
Bless me how delightful
Riding in sleigh
Girl whom you invited
Is certain she will freeze
Nestles closer to you,
Gives your arm squeeze,
Hints at old schoul friendships,
As any maiden may
Says It's very pleasant
Riding in sleigh.
Driver gets excited,
thinks he'S very smart
Snaps the whip little.
Gives the nags a start,
Girls and gallants mixing,
In an awkward way;
Bless me how delightful
Riding in a sleigh
Round the corner rushing
At speed too rash,
Suddenly upsettng
With horrible crash;
1u a snow bed tumblcd
All the lovers lay
Ha Ia how beautiful!
! Riding in q sleigh
Beavers sadly battered,
Ronrats all awrv-
Some OF the girls laughing,
Others want to cry
Careless driver swearing,
Says the deuces tn pay
Never dumped" a load before,
Riding in a sleigh
Matters once more righted,
Jiuging on we 60,
Through the woods and meadows,
Der the frosty snow,
Jngling, laughing, kissing,
All the merry way;
Bless me, isn't this pleasant
Riding in a sleigh
