As performed by Allison Crowe
Itâs coming on Christmas
Theyâre cutting down trees
Theyâre putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it donât snow here
It stays pretty green
Iâm going to make a lot of money
Then Iâm going to 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
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
Iâm so hard to handle
Iâm selfish and Iâm sad
Now Iâve gone and lost the best baby
That 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 made my baby say goodbye
Itâs coming on Christmas
Theyâre cutting down trees
Theyâre putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
