River

Joni Mitchell cover

available to listen to only on musicbobbylong.com ♫

It's coming on Christmas

And they're cutting down trees

Putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

It don't snow here

Stays pretty green

I'm gonna make a lot of money

And quit this crazy scene

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet how to fly

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

You tried hard to help me

You put me at ease

You loved me so naughty

It 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 baby

That I've ever had

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet how to fly

Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas

And they're cutting down trees

Putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river I could skate away on
