[00:19.91]It's coming on Christmas
[00:22.43]They're cutting down trees
[00:24.82]They're putting up reindeer
[00:26.61]And singing songs of joy and peace
[00:30.24]But I wish I had a river
[00:32.68]I could skate away on
[00:39.20]But it don't snow here
[00:41.64]It stays pretty green
[00:43.98]I'm going to make a lot of money
[00:45.97]Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
[00:49.45]I wish I had a river
[00:52.09]I could skate away on
[00:58.11]I wish I had a river so long
[01:02.54]I would teach my feet to fly
[01:12.39]Oh I wish I had a river
[01:16.55]I could skate away on
[01:22.52]I made my baby cry
[01:30.21]
[01:40.23]He tried hard to help me
[01:42.11]You know, he put me at ease
[01:44.90]And he loved me so naughty
[01:46.59]Made me weak in the knees
[01:50.33]Oh I wish I had a river
[01:52.91]I could skate away on
[01:59.48]I'm so hard to handle
[02:01.82]I'm selfish and I'm sad
[02:03.98]Now I've gone and lost the best baby
[02:06.27]That I ever had
[02:10.30]Oh I wish I had a river
[02:12.69]I could skate away on
[02:17.97]I wish I had a river so long
[02:23.19]I would teach my feet to fly
[02:35.04]Oh I wish I had a river
[02:38.92]I could skate away on
[02:44.84]I made my baby say goodbye
[03:02.62]It's coming on Christmas
[03:04.95]They're cutting down trees
[03:07.14]They're putting up reindeer
[03:09.78]And singing songs of joy and peace
[03:14.36]I wish I had a river
[03:16.80]I could skate away on
[03:23.42]
