I think that you will get what you want if you add a space after sleigh. 
and remove the X
So the last line would be

Oh, what fun it | is to ride in_a | one horse o -- pen | sleigh. ___

But, since it's two notes should you not make it

Oh, what fun it | is to ride in_a | one horse o -- pen | sle -- igh.
