River lyrics

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 won't snow here It'll stay pretty green I'm gonna make a lot of money And then 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 He tried hard to help me No, 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 upset 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 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 He cutting down trees He putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on Away, away
