It's comin'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 going to make a lot of money
Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
OI 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, 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
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I'm gonna lost the best baby
That I ever had
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
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby
say goodbye
It's comin'on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
