Proud Mary (Rolling on the River)
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 things might have been.
Big wheel keep on turning,
Proud Mary keep on burning,
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,
Until I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
If you come down to the river,
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money,
People on the river are happy to give.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Working for the man every night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleeping,
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been.
Big wheel keep on turning,
Proud Mary keep on burning,
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,
Until I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
If you come down to the river,
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money,
People on the river are happy to give.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
