Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Big wheel keep on turnin'
If you come down to the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
But I never saw the good side of the city
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turnin'
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans
People on the river are happy to give
