River

It's coming on Christmas
And cutting down trees
And putting up reindeer
Singing the songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

But it don't snow here
Stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
And 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

He tried hard to help me
You know he put me at ease
He loved me so naughty
It made me weak in the knees
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
And now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
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

It's coming on Christmas
And cutting down trees
And putting up reindeer
Singing the songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I made my baby cry
I made my baby cry
I made my baby say goodbye
