Lyrics

It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeers 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 And 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 could teach my feet to fly 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 I wish I had a river I could skate away on Oh, I wish I had a river so long That I could teach my feet to fly Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeers And singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river I could skate away on
