[00:12.74]It's comin' on Christmas
[00:14.88]They're cuttin' down trees
[00:17.09]They're puttin' up reindeer
[00:20.43]And singin' songs of joy and peace
[00:23.48]I wish I had a river
[00:26.15]I could skate away on
[00:32.36]But it don't snow here
[00:36.50]It stays pretty green
[00:39.56]I'm gonna make a lot of money
[00:41.37]Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
[00:44.32]I wish I had a river
[00:47.37]I could skate away on
[00:54.12]I wish I had a river so long
[01:00.69]I could teach my feet to fly
[01:11.18]Oh I wish I had a river
[01:14.62]I could skate away on
[01:20.85]I made my baby cry
[01:30.35]He tried hard to help me
[01:48.28]You know he put me at ease
[01:51.57]And he loved me so naughty
[01:54.68]Made me weak in the knees
[01:57.92]I wish I had a river
[01:59.20]I could skate away on
[02:05.98]I'm so hard to handle
[02:09.85]I'm selfish and I'm sad
[02:12.16]Now I've gone and lost the best baby
[02:14.92]That I ever had
[02:17.16]I wish I had a river
[02:20.46]I could skate away on
[02:26.82]I wish I had a river so long
[02:32.87]I could teach my feet to fly
[02:43.13]Oh I wish I had a river
[02:46.57]I could skate away on
[02:53.11]I made my baby say goodbye
[03:04.27]It's comin' on Christmas
[03:20.61]They're cuttin' down trees
[03:22.80]They're puttin' up reindeer
[03:25.59]And singin' songs of joy and peace
[03:28.73]I wish I had a river
[03:31.43]I could skate away on
[03:38.97]
