natal , natal

, 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
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
oh 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
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
oh I wish I had a river
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
