I made my baby cry 


He tried hard to help me, 
he put me at ease 
Lord he 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 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 
Oh 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
