River

[Verse 1] It's coming on Christmas They're cuttin' down trees They're puttin' up reindeer Singing songs of joy and peace Oh, I wish I had a river That I could skate away on But it don't snow here, no, it Stays pretty green I'm gonna make a lot of money Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene Oh, I wish I had a river That I could skate away on [Chorus] I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly Oh, I wish I had a river That I could skate away on I made my baby cry [Verse 2] 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 That I could skate away on I'm so hard to handle I'm sеlfish and I'm sad Now I'vе gone and lost the bеst baby that I evеr had Oh, I wish I had a river That I could skate away on [Chorus] Yeah, I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly Oh, I wish I had a river That I could skate away on I made my baby say goodbye [Outro] It's coming on Christmas They're cuttin' down trees They're puttin' up reindeer Singing songs of joy and peace Oh, I wish I had a river That I could skate away on
