It's coming on ChristmasThey're cutting down treesThey're putting up reindeerAnd signing songs of joy and peaceOh I wish I had a riverI could skate away onBut it don't snow hereIt stays pretty greenI'm going to make a lot of moneyThen I'm going to quit this crazy sceneOh I wish I had a riverI could skate away onI wish I had a river so longI would teach my feet to flyI wish I had a riverI could skate away onI made my baby cryWell she tried hard to help meYou know, she put me at easeAnd she loved me so naughtyMade me weak in the kneesOh I wish I had a riverI could skate away onI'm so hard to handleI'm selfish and I'm sadNow I've gone and lost the best babyThat I ever hadOh I wish I had a riverI could skate away onI wish I had a river so longI would teach my feet to flyI wish I had a riverI could skate away onI made my baby say goodbyeWell It's coming on ChristmasThey're cutting down treesThey're putting up reindeerSinging songs of joy and peaceGod I wish I had a riverI could skate away on
