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
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 fl???y
Ohhh 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 would teach my feet to fly wooh . .
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Ya I made my baby say goodby
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 aw???ay on
