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
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
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 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.
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 could 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.
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.

Singing songs of joy and peace.
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.
