Lyrics:

It's comin' on Christmas, they're cuttin' down trees
They're puttin' up reindeer and singin' 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 going to 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
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'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
It's comin' on Christmas, they're cuttin' down trees
They're puttin' up reindeer and singin' songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
