It's coming near Christmas, they're cuttin down trees |
|
They're puttin up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace. |
|
I wish I had a river |
|
I could skate away on |
|
It don't snow here, it stays pretty green |
|
I'm gonna make a lot of money |
|
And I'm gonna quit this crazy scene. |
|
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 cry. |
|
He tried hard to help me, he put me at ease |
|
He loved me so naughty |
|
Made me weak in the knees. |
|
I wish I had a river |
|
I could skate away on |
|
I'm so hard to handle, I'm selfish, and I'm sad |
|
I went and lost the best baby I ever had. |
|
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's coming near Christmas, they're cuttin down trees |
|
They're puttin up reindeer and singing song of joy and peace. |
|
I wish I had a river |
|
I could skate away on |
