It's comin' 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 of money, so I can quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I could teach my feet to fly
Oh-oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
♪
She tried hard to help me, you know, she put me at ease
And she loved me so much it made me weak at knees
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle, I'm so selfish and I'm sad
Now I've lost the best baby that I 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-oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye
