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
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene 

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

  F                     G
I wish I had a river so long

I made my baby cry

   F             C                F            C
He tried hard to help me, you know, he put me at ease 

        F           C
And he loved me so naughty 

        F           C
Made me weak in the knees

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

    F          C           F               C
I'm so hard to handle, I'm selfish and I'm sad

          F                 C
Now I've gone and lost the best baby 

     F      C
That I ever had

I made my baby say goodbye
