River

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

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

It stays pretty green

Now I'm gonna make a lot of money

I'm gonna quit this crazy scene

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'd make my baby cry

And he tried to help me, you know

He put me at ease

And he loved me so naughty

Made me weak in my knees

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

But I'm so hard to handle

I'm sеlfish and I'm sad

Now I've gone and lost the bеst baby

That I ever had

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'd make my baby cry

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeers

And singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I could skate away on
