River lyrics

It's coming on Christmas,

they're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeers,

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 gonna quit this crazy scene

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river so long

That it 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 I've ever had

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river so long

That it would teach my feet to fly

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

It's coming on Christmas,

they're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeers,

singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river so long

That it would teach my feet to fly

Oh, I wish I had a river
