Lyrics for Song: Proud Mary 
Lyrics for Album: Memphis Portrait [Decca] [1970]
  
               
  11283>(John C. Fogerty)
 
 
  Left a good job in the city
  Working for the man both night and day
  But I never lost a minute of sleep
  Worrying 'bout the way things might have been.
 
 
  Big wheel keep on turning
  Proud Mary keep on burning
  Rolling, rolling
  Rolling on the river.
 
 
  Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
  I said I pumped a lot of tan in New Orleans
  But I never saw the good side of a city
  Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen.
 
 
  Big wheel keep on turning
  Proud Mary keep on burning
  Rolling, rolling
  Rolling on the river.
 
 
  I said you know
  That I'm rolling, rolling
  You know that I'm
  Rolling on the river.
 
 
  --- Instrumental ---
 
 
  Rolling, rolling
  Rolling on the river.
 
 
  Now if you come down to the city
  I said I bet you gonna find some people who live
  You don't have to live if you ain't got no money
  People on the river that know how to give.
 
 
  Big wheel keep on turning
  Proud Mary keep on burning
  Rolling, rolling
  Rolling on the river.
 
 
  You know I said that I'm rolling rolling
  I'm rolling on the river
  Now let's roll on, let's roll on...
