lyrics

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

But it don't snow here
No, it stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
And quit this crazy scene

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly, oh
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

(I made my baby cry)

He tried had to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees

Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish, and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had

Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to, fly oh
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

(I made my baby say goodbye)

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
