River Lyrics
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm gonna make a lot of money
And quit this crazy scene
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 run; fly
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
She tried hard to help me
And put me at ease
And she 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 lost the bеst woman
That I ever had
I wish I had a river I could skatе away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to run; fly
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
My baby said goodbye
