Proud Mary

You know?
Every now and then I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy
But there's just one thing, you see? (left a good job down in the city)
You see, we never ever do nothing (working for the man)
Nice and easy (every night and day)
We always like to do it (and I never lost-)
Nice and rough (one minute of sleeping, I don't worry 'bout-)
So we're gonna take the beginning of this song (the way things might have-)
And do it easy (been, big wheel keep-)
And then we're gonna do the finish rough (on turnin')
That's the way we do Proud Mary (Proud Mary keep on burnin')

And we're rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Listen to the story now

Left a good job in the city (down in the city)
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been

(You know that-) big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
And we're rollin' (rollin')
Rollin', yeah (rollin')
Rollin' on the river (rollin' on the river)
Yes, we're rollin' (rollin')
Rollin', yeah (rollin')
Rollin' on the river (rollin' on-)
The river (the river)

I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been

Big wheel keep on turnin' (turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin' (burnin')
We're rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Yes, we're rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river
River doop- doop- doop
Doop- doop- doop- doop
Doop- doop- doop- alright! (doop)

I 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
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen

Big wheel keep on turnin' (turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin' (burnin')
We're rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river
Yes, we're rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river
River doop- doop- doop
Doop- doop- doop- doop
Doop- doop- doop- alright! (doop)

If you come down to the river
I bet you're gonna find some people who live
And you don't gotta worry
If you got no money
People on the river are happy to give

Big wheel keep on turnin' (turnin')
Proud Mary keep on burnin' (burnin')
We're rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river
We're rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river
We're rollin'
Rollin'
Rollin' on the river
