A day or two ago

Now the ground is white

The story I must tell

Go in while you're young,

Iwent out in the snow

Take the girls to night

And on my back I fell;

And sing this sleiging song;

A gent was riding by

Just get a bon tailed bay

In a one horse open sleigh,

Two forty as his speed

He laught as there I sprawling lie,

Hitch him to an open sleigh

But quickly drove away.

And crack, you'll take the lead.
