Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Verse 2]

Now it don't snow here

It stays pretty green

I'm gonna make a lotta money

And I'm gonna 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

[Verse 3]

She tried hard to help me

She put me at ease

And she loved me so naughty, she made me weak in the knees

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

[Verse 4]

I'm so hard to handle

I'm selfish, I'm sad

And I've gone and lost the best baby that I ever had

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

[Verse 5]

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river I could skate away on
