The River

F C F C
It's coming on Christmas, they’re cutting down trees
F C
They're putting up reindeer
F C
And singing songs of joy and peace
Am G
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
F C F C
But it don't snow here, it stays pretty green
F C
I'm going to make a lot of money

F C
And he loved me so naughty
F C
Made me weak in the knees
Am G
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
