River

It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees
 They're 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
 I'm gonna make a lot of money, then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
 I wish I had a river I could skate away on
 I 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 cry
 ♪
 He 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 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
 I 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 say goodbye
 ♪
 It's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees
 They're putting up reindeer, singing songs of joy and peace
 I wish I had a river I could skate away on
