[00:18.23] It's coming on Christmas
[00:21.02] They're cutting down trees
[00:23.15] They're putting up reindeer
[00:25.51] And singing songs of joy and peace
[00:28.76] Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[00:34.89]
[00:37.40] But it don't snow here
[00:40.00] It stays pretty green
[00:41.96] I'm going to make a lot of money
[00:43.64] Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
[00:47.27] Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[00:52.41]
[00:56.05] I wish I had a river so long
[00:58.64] I would teach my feet to fly
[01:09.55] I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[01:17.68] I made my baby cry
[01:23.60]
[01:35.26] He tried hard to help me
[01:37.12] You know, he put me at ease
[01:39.12] And he loved me so naughty
[01:41.48] Made me weak in the knees
[01:43.54] Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[01:51.35]
[01:53.99] I'm so hard to handle
[01:55.77] I'm selfish and I'm sad
[01:57.79] Now I've gone and lost the best baby
[01:59.51] That I ever had
[02:02.55] I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[02:09.82]
[02:12.00] Oh, I wish I had a river so long
[02:14.85] I would teach my feet to fly
[02:29.00] I wish I had a river
[02:32.22] I could skate away on
[02:39.51] I made my baby say goodbye
[02:43.23]
[02:55.37] It's coming on Christmas
[02:57.19] They're cutting down trees
[02:59.46] They're putting up reindeer
[03:01.34] And singing songs of joy and peace
[03:04.28] I wish I had a river I could skate away on
[03:14.01]
