Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's comin' on Christmas

They're cuttin' down trees

They're puttin' up reindeer

Singin' 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

Gonna make lots of money

Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene

Oh, I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

[Verse 3]

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

Oh, I made my baby cry

[Verse 4]

She tried hard to help me

She put me at ease

She loved me so naughty

Made me weak in the knees

Oh, I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

[Verse 5]

But I'm so hard to handle

I'm sеlfish 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

[Verse 6]

Oh, 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

[Verse 7]

It's comin' on Christmas

They're cuttin' down trees

Puttin' up reindeer

Singin' songs of joy and peace

Oh, I wish I had a river

I wish I had a river, yeah

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

[Verse 8]

Merry, merry, merry Christmas

Merry, merry, merry Christmas

Merry, merry, merry Christmas

And have yourself a happy new year

[Verse 9]

Merry, merry, merry Christmas

Merry, merry, merry Christmas

Merry, merry, merry Christmas

And have yourself a happy new year

[Verse 10]

Merry, merry, merry Christmas

Merry, merry, merry Christmas

Merry, merry, merry Christmas

And have yourself a happy new year
