River Lyrics

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 don't snow here 

 It stays pretty green 

 I'm going to make a lot of money 

 Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene 

 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 made my baby cry. 

 

 He tried hard to help me 

 He put me at ease 

 Lord, 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 

 I'm selfish and I'm sad 

 Now I've gone and lost the best baby 

 That I ever had 

 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 made my baby say goodbye 

 

 It's coming on Christmas 

 They're cutting down trees 

 They're putting up reindeer 

 And singing songs of joy and peace 

 I wish I had a river 

 I could skate away on.
