It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees 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 Then I'm going to 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
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 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
