Lyrics
0:19It's coming on Christmas they're cutting down trees
0:24They're putting up reindeer singing songs of joy and peace
0:29Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
0:39But it don't snow here it stays pretty green
0:43I'm going to make a lot of money
0:46And then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
0:49Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
0:58I wish I had a river so long
1:03I would teach my feet to fly
1:12Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
1:23I made my baby cry
1:40He tried hard to help me you know he put me at ease
1:45And he loved me so naughty made me weak in the knees
1:49Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
1:59Well I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad
2:04Now I've gone and lost the best baby that I ever had
2:09Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
2:18Oh I wish I had a river so long
2:24I would teach my feet to fly
2:38Oh I wish I had a river that I could skate away on
2:49I made my baby say goodbye
3:06It's coming on Christmas they're cutting down trees
3:11They're putting up reindeer singing songs of joy and peace
3:15Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
It's coming on Christmas they're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer 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 And then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene 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 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 Well 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 Oh I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly Oh I wish I had a river that 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 singing songs of joy and peace Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
