Left a good job in the city
Workin for the man every night and day
Havent ever lost one minute of sleeping

Worried about the way things might have been
A big wheel keeps on turnin
Proud mary keeps on burnin, rollin, rollin

Rollin on a river

Been a lot of places down in memphis
I umped a lot of babes down in new orleans
Had a lot of shots at good times in the city
Till I hitched a ride on a river bout queen
A big wheel keeps on turnin

Proud mary keeps on burnin, rollin, rollin

Rollin on a river

If you come down to the river

I betcha youre gonna find some people who live
You dont have to worry
cause you have no money
People along the river are happy to give
I said a big wheel keeps on turnin

Proud mary keeps on burnin, rollin, rollin

Rollin on a river

Rollin, rollin, rollin on a river

Rollin, rollin, rollin on a river

Rollin, rollin, rollin on a river

Rollin, rollin, rollin on a river

Rollin, rollin, rollin on a river

Rollin, rollin, rollin on a river
