It' coming on Christmas
They're cutting down threes
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna to make a lot of money
And 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 along
I could teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
You try hard to help me
Always put me at ease
You loved me so naughty,baby
Made me wake in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
And I'am so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
And I've gone and lost the best baby
that I have ever had
oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I could teach my feet to fly
oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye
It' coming on Christmas
They're cutting down threes
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
