River Songtext
von Rita Wilson

It′s comin' on Christmas
They′re cuttin' down trees
They're puttin′ up reindeer
And singin′ 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 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
Oh, 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
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh, 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 man that I ever had
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long
I could teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I made my baby say goodbye

It's comin′ on Christmas
They′re cuttin' down trees
They′re puttin' up reindeer
And singin′ songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
