River

It's coming on Christmas
 They're cutting down trees
 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
 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 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
 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 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
