River

It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away onBut it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make
A lot of moneyAnd then I'm gonna
Quit this crazy scene
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away onI 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 cryHe tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away onWell, 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 onOh, I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river that
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbyeIt's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
