Proud Mary

Left a good job in the city

Workin' for the man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleepin'

Worrying 'bout the way things might have been



Big wheels keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keeps 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 riverboat-queen



Big wheels keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keeps on burnin'

Rollin', rollin', rollin'on the river



Big wheels keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keeps on burnin'

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, well you have no money

People on the river are happy to give



Big wheels keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keeps 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
