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 doesn'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
 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
 I could skate away on
 
 I made my baby say goodbye
