It's Coming On Christmas
They're Cutting Down Trees
They're Putting Up Reindeer
And Singing Songs Of Joy And Peace
Oh 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
Oh I Wish I Had A River
I Could Skate Away On

Oh I Wish I Had A River So Long
I Would Teach My Feet To Fly
Oh I Wish I Had A River
I Made My Baby Cry.

He Tried Hard To Help Me
He Put Me At Ease
Lord, 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
Now I've Gone And Lost The Best Baby
That I Ever Had
I Wish I Had A River
I Could Skate Away On

Oh I Wish I Had A River So Long
I Would Teach My Feet To Fly
Oh 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.
