text: Its coming on Christmas
  Theyre cutting down trees
  Theyre putting up reindeer
  And singing songs of joy and peace
  Wish I had a river I could skate away on
  But it dont snow here
  It stays pretty green
  Im gonna make a lot of money
  Gonna 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 myself to fly
  I wish I had a river I could skate away on
  I made my baby cry
  Tried hard to help me
  He put me at ease
  He loved me so naughty
  Made me weak in my knees
  Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
  Im so hard to handle
  Im selfish and Im sad
  Ive 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 myself to fly
  I wish I had a river I could skate away on
  I made my baby cry
  I made my baby cry
  Its coming on Christmas
  Theyre cutting down trees
  Theyre putting up reindeer
  And singing songs of joy and peace
  Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
