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
Gonna make lots of money
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 will teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
How I made my baby cry

She tried hard to help me
She put me at ease
She loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But 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, how 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 comin' on Christmas
They're cuttin' down trees
Puttin' up reindeer
Singin' songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I wish I had a river, yeah
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
