|
Left a good job in the city |
|
Workin' for the man every night and day |
|
And I never lost one minute of sleepin' |
|
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been |
|
Big wheel keep on turnin' |
|
Proud Mary keep on burnin' |
|
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river |
|
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis |
|
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans |
|
But I never saw the good side of the city |
|
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen |
|
Big wheel keep on turnin' |
|
Proud Mary keep on burnin' |
|
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river |
|
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river |
|
If you come down to the river |
|
Bet you gonna find some people who live |
|
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money |
|
People on the river are happy to give |
|
Big wheel keep on turnin' |
|
Proud Mary keep on burnin' |
|
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river |
|
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river |
|
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river |
|
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river |
