Lyrics
0:24It's coming on Christmas
0:27They're cutting down trees
0:30They're putting up reindeer
0:33Singing songs of joy and peace
0:38I wish I had a river
0:42I could skate away on
0:47But it don't snow here
0:50It stays pretty green
0:53I'm going
0:54Make a lot of money
0:56Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
1:01I wish I had a river
1:05I could skate away on
1:12I wish I had a river so long
1:16I would
1:18Teach my feet
1:22To fly
1:31I wish I had a river
1:36I could skate away on
1:42I made my baby cry
2:03He tried hard to help me
2:06You know he put me at ease
2:09And loved me so naughty
2:12Made me weak in the knees
2:17I wish I had a river
2:21I could skate away on
2:26I'm so hard to handle
2:30I'm selfish and I'm sad
2:32Now I've gone and lost the best baby
2:36I ever had
2:39Oh
2:40I wish I had a river
2:44I could
2:46Skate away on
2:50I wish I had a river so long
2:55I would
2:57Teach my feet
3:03Fly
3:16Oh I wish I had a river
3:22I could skate away
3:27I made my baby
3:30Say goodbye
3:48It's coming on christmas
3:51They're cutting down trees
3:54They're putting up reindeer
3:58Singing songs of joy and peace
4:04I wish I had a river
4:09I could skate away
4:15On
It's coming 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 But it don't snow here It stays pretty green I'm going 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 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 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 and I'm sad Now I've gone and lost the best baby 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 Fly Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away I made my baby Say goodbye It's coming 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
