Big wheels keep on turning
Big wheels keep on turning
You don't have to worry though you have no money
Proud Mary keeps on burning
But I never saw the good side of the city
Betcha gonna find the people who live
When worrying 'bout the way that things might have been
People on the river are happy to give
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
If you come down to the river
Big wheels keep on turning
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Then I never lost a minute of sleep
Pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Proud Mary keeps on burning
Proud Mary keeps on burning
