Jingle Bells
~ James Lord Pierpont
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
On a one-horse open sleigh
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
On a one-horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow
On a one-horse open sleigh
Over fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tails ring
Keeping spirits bright
Oh What fun it is to sing
A sleighing song tonight
Pull the Plunger
James Pierpont was born the second son of John Pierpont (1785-1866), at James' birth already well known as a Unitarian minister, poet, and fervent abolitionist. Music would've been an important part of James Pierpont's home life as a minister's son, and he probably picked up a lot of his early training just from singing and playing within his own family. At age 14 James ran away from home and joined the crew of a commercial whaling vessel. Working his way into the U.S. Navy, Pierpont served as a seaman until he reached the age of 21. Pierpont is also said to have prospected in California during the Gold Rush of 1849, and during this period his name is shown on the rolls of a music committee belonging to a Unitarian church based in San Francisco.
