Well, it's coming on Christmas
And they're cutting down the trees
And they're putting up reindeers
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

But it don't snow here
And it stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
And I'm gonna 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 would skate away on
I made my baby cry

Well, 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
I wish I had a river I would skate away on

But I'm so hard to handle
And I'm selfish and I'm sad
I've gone and lost the best baby
That I've ever had
I wish I had a river I would 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 would skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas
And they're cutting down the trees
And they're putting up reindeers
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
