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 that I could skate away on But it don't snow here It stays pretty green I'm going to make a lot of money Then I'm gonna quit This crazy scene I wish I had a river that I could 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 that I could skate away on I made my baby cry oh She tried hard to help me You know she put me at ease And she loved me so naughty She made me weak in the knees I wish I had a river that 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 that 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 that 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 Singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river that I could skate away on Yes far away on
