Gretta Ray - River Lyrics

Gretta Ray Lyrics

"River"
(originally by Joni Mitchell)

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

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

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 selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby that I ever had
Oh, I wish I had a river
That I could skate away on

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

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
