[00:18.19]It's  coming  on  Christmas
[00:20.181]They're  cutting  down  trees
[00:22.227]They're  putting  up  reindeer
[00:24.556]And  singing  songs  of  joy  and  peace
[00:27.381]I  wish  I  had  a  river  I  could  skate  away  on
[00:35.774]Now  it  don't  snow  here
[00:37.972]It  stays  pretty  green
[00:39.101]I'm  gonna  make  a  lotta  money
[00:41.611]And  I'm  gonna  quit  this  crazy  scene
[00:44.681]I  wish  I  had  a  river  I  could  skate  away  on
[00:52.928]I  wish  I  had  a  river  so  long  I  would  teach  my  feet  to  fly
[01:05.625]Oh  I  wish  I  had  a  river  I  could  skate  away  on
[01:14.991]I  made  my  baby  cry
[01:30.275]She  tried  hard  to  help  me
[01:32.766]She  put  me  at  ease
[01:34.684]And  she  loved  me  so  naughty
[01:36.998]She  made  me  weak  in  the  knees
[01:39.403]I  wish  I  had  a  river  I  could  skate  away  on
[01:48.24]I'm  so  hard  to  handle
[01:49.847]I'm  selfish  I'm  sad
[01:51.878]And  I've  gone  and  lost  the  best  baby  that  I  ever  had
[01:56.737]I  wish  I  had  a  river  I  could  skate  away  on
[02:04.377]Mmm  I  wish  I  had  a  river  so  long  I  would  teach  my  feet  to  fly
[02:21.532]Oh  I  wish  I  had  a  river  I  could  skate  away  on
[02:31.600]I  made  my  baby  say  goodbye
[02:47.71]It's  coming  on  Christmas
[02:49.345]They're  cutting  down  trees
[02:51.360]They're  putting  up  reindeer
[02:53.370]And  singing  songs  of  joy  and  peace
[02:56.333]I  wish  I  had  a  river  I  could  skate  away  on
