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
 And I'm gonna quit this crazy scene
 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 cry
 ♪
 You tried hard to help me
 Always put me at ease
 You loved me so naughty
 Made me weak in the knees
 Oh, I wish I had a river
 I could skate away on
 And I'm so hard to handle
 I'm selfish and I'm sad
 And I've gone and lost the best, baby
 That I have 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
 And singing songs of joy and peace
 Oh, I wish I had a river
 I could skate away on
