Proud Mary

I left a good job in the city

Working for the man every night and day

But I never lost one minute of sleep

When I was worrying 'bout the way that things might have been.



Big wheel keep on turning.

Proud Mary keep on burning.

And we're rolling

Rolling

Rolling on the river.



Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis.

Pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans.

But I never saw the good side of the city

Till I hitched a ride on the river boat queen.



Big wheel keep on turning.

And the Proud Mary keep on burning.

So we're rolling

Rolling, yeah

Rolling on the river.



I said rolling

Rolling,

Rolling on the river.



I left a good job in the city

Working for the man every night and day

But I never lost one minute of sleepin'

Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been.



Big wheel keep on turning.

Proud Mary keep on burning.

Rolling

Rolling

Rolling on the river.



I said we're rolling

Rolling,

Rolling on the river.



I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis.

I pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans.

But I never saw the good side of the city

Till I hitched a ride on the river boat queen.



Big wheel keep on turning.

Proud Mary keep on burning.

Rolling

Rolling

Rolling on the river.



Rolling

Rolling,

Rolling on the river.



Now if you come down to the river

I bet you gonna find the people who live

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

People on the river are happy to give.



Big wheel keep on turning.

Proud Mary keep on burning.

Rolling

Rolling

Rolling on the river.



Rolling

Rolling,

Rolling on the river.



Rolling

Rolling,

Rolling on the river.
