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