It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
ย
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Oh, I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
ย
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
ย
He tried hard 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
ย
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
Oh, I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
ย
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
ย
I made my baby say goodbye
ย
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
