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 gonna make a lot of money, then 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 would teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
Tried hard to help me, and you put me at ease 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´ve gone 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 would teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river I could skate away on
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
