text: Its comin on Christmas, theyre cuttin down trees
  Theyre puttin up reindeer and singin songs of joy and peace
  Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
  But it dont snow here, it stays pretty green
  Im going to make a lot of money, and then Im going to quit this crazy scene
  Oh, 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
  Oh, 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
  He loved me so naughty, made me weak in the knees
  Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
  Im so hard to handle, Im selfish and Im sad
  Now Ive gone and lost the best baby that I ever had
  Oh, 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
  Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
  I made my baby say goodbye
  Its comin on Christmas, theyre cuttin down trees
  Theyre puttin up reindeer and singin songs of joy and peace
  I wish I had a river I could skate away on
