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
