River

It's comin' on Christmas
They're cuttin' down trees
They're puttin' up reindeer
Singin' 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 then 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'll 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

Well, 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, oh
I wish I had a river that I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye

It's comin' on Christmas
They're cuttin' down trees
They're puttin' up reindeers
Singin' songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
