River Lyrics by Gretta Ray

It’s Almost Christmas In Philly

2021

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 sеlfish and I'm sad
Now I'vе gone and lost the bеst baby that I evеr had
Oh, I wish I had a river
That I could skate away on

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
