Proud Mary

(John C. Fogerty)



Well, I left a good job in the city

A workin' for the man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleep

While worryin' bout the way things might have been.



Big wheels keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keeps on burnin'

I said rollin', rollin'

Rollin' on the river.



I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis

Copped a lot of cane down in New Orleans

But I never saw the good side of the city

Till I hitched a ride on this river boat queen



Big wheels keep on turnin'



Proud Mary keeps on burnin'

I said rollin', rollin'

Rollin' on the river.

Well, if you come down to the river

Well, I bet you gonna find some people who live

You don't have to worry if you have no money

People on the river are happy to give



I said the big wheels keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keeps on burnin'

I said rollin', rollin'

Rollin' on the river.



--- Instrumental ---



I said rollin', rollin'

Rollin' on the river...
