[00:19.24]It's coming on Christmas,
[00:21.43]They're cutting down trees.
[00:23.67]They're putting up reindeer
[00:25.77]And singing songs of joy and peace,
[00:28.86]Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
[00:36.77]But it don't snow here,
[00:40.06]Stays pretty green.
[00:42.05]I'm gonna make a lot of money
[00:43.89]And and then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene.
[00:47.32]Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
[00:54.20]I wish I had a river so long,
[00:59.97]I would teach my feet to fly.
[01:09.66]Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
[01:16.68]I made my baby cry.
[01:25.49]he tried hard to help me,
[01:37.20]he put me at ease.
[01:39.71]lord,he loved me so naughty,
[01:42.60]made me weak in the knees.
[01:44.39]Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
[01:53.66]I'm so hard to handle,
[01:55.61]I'm selfish and I'm sad.
[01:57.99]Now I've gone and lost the best baby
[02:00.48]That I've ever had.
[02:03.07]Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
[02:10.95]I wish I had a river so long,
[02:16.12]I would teach my feet to fly.
[02:28.78]Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on.
[02:36.71]I made my baby say goodbye.

[02:59.40]They're putting up reindeer
[03:02.13]And singing songs of joy and peace,
