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 going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to 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
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me
He put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
He made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
You know I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
And I went and lost the best baby
That I ever, ever had
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 I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
And putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby
I made my baby cry
