It’s coming on christmas;
|
They’re cutting down trees,
|
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.
|
Gonna make a lot of money,
|
Then I’m gonna quit this crazy scene.
|
And 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 could skate away on.
|
I made my baby cry.
|
|
Tried hard to help me,
|
And you put me at ease.
|
Loved me so naughty,
|
Made me weaking in the knees.
|
I wish I had a river,
|
I could skate away on.
|
|
I’m so hard to handle;
|
I’m selfish and I’m sad.
|
I've gone and lost the best baby,
|
I ever had.
|
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.
|
Wish I had a river,
|
I could skate away on.
|
I made my baby say, "Goodbye."
|
|
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.
