River Lyrics - Annett Louisan

It's coming on Christmas, 

They're cuttin' down trees 

They're puttin' 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, 

Stays pretty green 

I'm gonna make a lot of money 

Then I'm gonna 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 fly 

I wish I had a river I could skate away on 

I made my baby cry 

He tried hard to help me, 

You know, he put me at ease 

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 

I've lost the best baby 

That I ever had 

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 fly 

I wished I had a river I could skate away on 

I made my baby cry 

It's coming on Christmas, 

They're cuttin' down trees 

They're puttin' up reindeer 

Singing songs of joy and peace, 

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 fly 

I wished I had a river I could skate away on 

I made my baby cry 

I made my baby cry 

I made my baby say goodbye
