Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's comin' on Christmas

They're cuttin' down trees

They're puttin' up reindeer and singin' songs of joy and peace

Oh, I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

[Verse 2]

But it don't snow here

It stays pretty green

I'm going to make a lot of money

And then I'm gonna quite this crazy scene

Oh, I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

I made my baby cry

[Verse 5]

He tried hard to help me

You know, he put me at ease

He loved me so naughty

Made me weak in the knees

Oh, I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

I made my baby say goodbye

[Verse 9]

It's comin' on Christmas

They're cuttin' down trees

They're puttin' up reindeer and singin' songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on
