River

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river

I could skate away

But it don't snow here

It stays pretty green

Gonna make a load on 'em

Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene

I wish I had a river

I could skate away

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 own

I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me

He put me at ease

Or he loved me so not

Made me weak and then leave

I wish I had a river

I could skate away

I'm so hard to handle

I'm selfish and I'm sad

Now I gonna lose the best baby

That I ever had

I wish I had a river

I could skate away

I wish I had a river so long

I could teach my feet to fly

I wish I had a river

I could skate away own

I made my baby say goodbye

I made my baby say goodbye

I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace
