نبذة مختصرة : Collected by Irene Carlisle Transcribed by Nathaniel Lucy Sung by Mary Bedingfield Springdale, Arkansas March 26, 1951 Reel 99, Item 6 Snowflakes Snowflakes glisten in the moonlight Falling everywhere Sleigh bells ring their merry voices In the wintry air Twenty sleighs and forty horses Dashing down Broadway While merry girls were laughing Riding in the sleigh Chorus: Hoopara, hold your horses Or they’ll get away Ain’t it jolly with your sweetheart Riding in the sleigh? Dashing down the road to Britain Sleighing o’er the snow Horses prancing, eager racing Mercy how they go Every gallant had its lassie Dashing down Broadway I had mine and we were happy Riding in the sleigh Chorus Coming home and Kate beside me Sleighing o’er the ridge I stooped down and slyly kissed her Coming through the bridge And she how many bridges On our journey lay And I told her count the kisses Riding in the sleigh ChorusComing home and near her mansion This I will confess For I asked her- well no matter And she answered yes On a certain night next winter I’ll not name the day But there’ll be a preacher with us Riding in the sleigh Chorus ; Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation.
