    River
It's coming on Christmas
    They're cutting down trees
    Putting up raindeers
    Singing songs of joy and peace
    Oh, I wish I had a river 
    I could skate away on
Have it, it don't snow here
    stays pretty green
    I'm gonna / You won't make a lot of money
    Quit / Split this crazy scene
    I wish I had a river 
    that I could skate away on
    Oh, I wish I had a river so wide
    I could teach my feet to fly away, yeah
    I wish I had a river 
    I could skate away on
But I'm so hard to handle
    I'm selfish and I'm sad and I think
    lost the only best baby that I ever had
    Oh, I wish I had a river 
    that I could skate away on
He/She tried hard to help me
    try to put me at ease
    He/ She loved me so naughty
    made me weak in my knees
    Yeah, I wish I had a river 
    I could skate away on
    Oh, I wish I had a river so wide
    I could teach my feet to fly away, yeah
    I wish I had a river 
    I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
    And I made my baby sing and cry and 
    I wish I had a river I could skate away on
