River

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

Putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

But it don't snow here

It stays pretty green

But I'm going to make a lot of money

Can quit this crazy scene

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oh I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

I wish I had a river so long

I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

You know he tried hard to help me

And he put me at ease

He loved me so naughty

Made me weak in the knees

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

But 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

Oh I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

I wish I had a river so long

I could skate away on

I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

Putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I could skate away on
