River lyrics

It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees 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 gonna make a lot of money And I'm gonna quit this crazy scene 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 could skate away on I made my baby cry Well, 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 I wish I had a river I could skate away on I'm so hard to handle You know 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 could skate away on I made my baby say goodbye It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees Putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river I could skate away on
