River

Well, it's coming on Christmas And they're cutting down the trees And they're putting up reindeers And singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river I could skate away on But it don't snow here And it 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 I wish I had a river I would skate away on I made my baby cry Well, 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 I wish I had a river I would skate away on But I'm so hard to handle And I'm selfish and I'm sad I've gone and lost the best baby That I've ever had I wish I had a river I would 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 would skate away on I made my baby say goodbye It's coming on Christmas And they're cutting down the trees And they're putting up reindeers And singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river I could skate away on
