Jingle Jangle Jingle
Jingling Spurs of Independence: A Cowboy's Journey in Love
Lyrics
Yippee yay
Expressing joy or excitement with a cheer
There'll be no wedding bells for today
There will be no wedding celebration today
I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
The singer has spurs on their boots that make a jingling sound
As I go riding merrily along
The singer is riding happily
And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single"
People comment, "Oh, aren't you glad you're single?"
And that song ain't so very far from wrong
The comment is not entirely incorrect
Oh, Lillie Belle (oh, Lillie Belle)
Referring to Lillie Belle, the singer explains why they never fell in love despite some fooling around
Oh, Lillie Belle (oh, Lillie Belle)
-Though I may have done some foolin'
-This is why I never fell (why I never fell)
-I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
Reiteration of spurs, riding happily, and the comment about being glad to be single
As I go ridin' merrily along
-And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single"
-And that song ain't so very far from wrong
-Oh, Mary Ann (oh, Mary Ann)
Referring to Mary Ann, the singer mentions moonlight walking and why they left
Oh, Mary Ann (oh, Mary Ann)
-Though we done some moonlight walkin'
-This is why I up and ran (why I up and ran)
-I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
Reiteration of spurs, riding happily, and the comment about being glad to be single
(I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle)
-As I go ridin' merrily along
-(As I go ridin' merrily along)
-And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single"
-(And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single")
-And that song ain't so very far from wrong
-(And that song ain't so very far from wrong)
-Oh, Sally Jane (oh, Sally Jane)
Referring to Sally Jane, the singer expresses the desire to stay but explains why they can't
Oh, Sally Jane (oh, Sally Jane)

-As I go ridin' merrily along
-(As I go ridin' merrily along)
-And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single"

-Oh, Bessy Lou (oh, Bessy Lou)
