Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

She tried hard to help me
You know, she put me at ease
Loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh 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
Oh wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I'd teach my feet to fly

Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye
