river

it's coming on christmas, they're cutting down trees, they're putting up reindeer, and singing 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, i'm going to make a lot of money, then i'm going to 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 would teach my feet to fly, i wish i had a river i could skate away on, i made my baby cry, 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, oh, 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 gone and lost the best 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, i wish i had a river, 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, and singing songs of joy and peace, i wish i had a river i could skate away on
