It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeers
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 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
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, he put me at ease
He loved me so naughty
He made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on i'm so hard to handlе
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost thе 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 reindeers
Singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
