[00:19.300]It's  coming  on  Christmas
[00:21.617]They're  cutting  down  trees
[00:23.803]They're  putting  up  reindeer
[00:25.761]And  singing  songs  of  joy  and  peace
[00:28.983]I  wish  I  had  a  river  I  could  skate  away  on
[00:37.987]Now  it  don't  snow  here
[00:40.457]It  stays  pretty  green
[00:42.143]I'm  gonna  make  a  lotta  money
[00:44.131]And  I'm  gonna  quit  this  crazy  scene
[00:47.671]I  wish  I  had  a  river  I  could  skate  away  on
[00:55.957]I  wish  I  had  a  river  so  long  I  would  teach  my  feet  to  fly
[01:09.465]Oh  I  wish  I  had  a  river  I  could  skate  away  on
[01:19.04]I  made  my  baby  cry
[01:35.295]She  tried  hard  to  help  me
[01:37.336]She  put  me  at  ease
[01:39.551]And  she  loved  me  so  naughty
[01:41.513]She  made  me  weak  in  the  knees
[01:43.819]I  wish  I  had  a  river  I  could  skate  away  on
[01:54.360]I'm  so  hard  to  handle
[01:56.131]I'm  selfish  I'm  sad
[01:57.194]And  I've  gone  and  lost  the  best  baby  that  I  ever  had
[02:02.770]I  wish  I  had  a  river  I  could  skate  away  on
[02:12.225]Mmm  I  wish  I  had  a  river  so  long  I  would  teach  my  feet  to  fly
[02:29.393]Oh  I  wish  I  had  a  river  I  could  skate  away  on
[02:39.540]I  made  my  baby  say  goodbye
[02:55.199]It's  coming  on  Christmas
[02:57.478]They're  cutting  down  trees
[02:59.826]They're  putting  up  reindeer
[03:01.818]And  singing  songs  of  joy  and  peace
[03:04.781]I  wish  I  had  a  river  I  could  skate  away  on
