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 gonna make a lotta money 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
I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad And 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 Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
