It's coming on Christmas. They're cutting down trees.
They're putting up reindeer and 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 to 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
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
I made my baby cry, 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 to skate away on.
