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
But it don't snow here It stays pretty green And I'm making a lot of money Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long Well, 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 hard to help me You know, he put me at ease And he loved me so naughty Made me weak in the knees 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 Well, 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 And singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river I could skate away on
