It's coming on Christmas
|
They're cutting down trees
|
They're putting up reindeer
|
And singing songs of joy and peace
|
Oh, I wish I had a river
|
I could skate away on
|
|
But it won't snow here
|
It'll stay pretty green
|
I'm gonna make a lot of money
|
And 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
|
No, 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 upset
|
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
|
|
Oh, 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 coming on Christmas
|
He cutting down trees
|
He putting up reindeer
|
And singing songs of joy and peace
|
Oh, I wish I had a river
|
I could skate away on
|
Away, away
|
