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 gonna make a lot of money and 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 high
Oh 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

But I’m so hard to handle, I’m selfish and I’m sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby that I’ve ever had
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oh I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly high
Oh I wish I had a river that 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 reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
