It's coming on Christmas
And 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
It don't snow here,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 how to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
You tried hard to help me,you put me at ease
You loved me so naughty,It 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've 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 how 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,and they're cutting down trees
Putting up reindeer,and singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
