Intro (with piano)
Verse 1
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
Verse 2
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
Chorus 1
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly---- wooh . .
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
Interlude
Verse 3
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
Verse 4
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
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Chorus 2
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly---- whoa
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye
Interlude
Verse 1, repeated
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
