Proud Mary Songtext / Lyric

I.

Left a good job down in the city

Workin' for the Man every night and day

And I never lost one minute of sleepin'

Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been



{Chorus}

Big wheel keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keep on burnin'

(and we're) Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

say we're Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river






II.

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis

Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans

But I never saw the good side of a city

'Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen



Big wheel keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keep on burnin'

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

say we're Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river



Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river



III.

If you come down to the River

Bet you're gonna find some people who live

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

People on the river are happy to give



Big wheel keep on turnin'

Proud Mary keep on burnin'

and we're Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

and we're Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
