Artist/Band: Brenda Lee
Lyrics for Song: Proud Mary
Lyrics for Album: Memphis Portrait [Decca] [1970]



(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...
