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
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot a money
Then 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
He tried hard to help me
and put me at ease
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 i'm sad
now we gonna lost the best baby that ive 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
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
