River

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer

Singing songs of joy and peace

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

And 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 run; fly

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

She tried hard to help me

And put me at ease

And she loved me so naughty

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

Now I've lost the bеst woman

That I ever had

I wish I had a river I could skatе away on

I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to run; fly

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

My baby said goodbye
