River lyrics

It's coming on Christmas And 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 It don't snow here Stays pretty green I'm gonna make a lot of money And 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 how to fly Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry You tried hard to help me You put me at ease You loved me so naughty It 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've 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 how 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 And 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
