It¡¯s coming on Christmas
|
They¡¯re cutting down trees
|
They¡¯re putting up reindeer
|
And singing songs of joy and peace
|
|
I wish I had a river
|
I could skate away on
|
But it don¡¯t snow here
|
It stays pretty green
|
I¡¯m going to make a lot of money
|
Then I¡¯m going to quit this crazy scene
|
|
I wish I had a river
|
I could skate away on
|
I wish I had a river so long
|
I would teach my feet to fly
|
|
I wish I had a river
|
I could skate away on
|
I made my baby cry
|
|
He tried hard to help me
|
You know, he put me at ease
|
And he loved me so naughty
|
Made me weak in the knees
|
Oh I wish I had a river
|
I could skate away on
|
|
I¡¯m so hard to handle
|
I¡¯m selfish and I¡¯m sad
|
Now I¡¯ve gone and lost the best baby
|
That I ever had
|
|
I wish I had a river
|
I could skate away on
|
I wish I had a river so long
|
I would teach my feet to fly
|
|
I wish I had a river
|
I made my baby say goodbye
|
|
It¡¯s coming on Christmas
|
They¡¯re cutting down trees
|
They¡¯re putting up reindeer
|
And singing songs of joy and peace
|
|
I wish I had a river
|
I could skate away on
|
