I pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
Rolling on the river
You see, we never ever do nothing nice and easy
Listen to the story
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling, rolling
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
I bet you gonna find some people who live
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Proud Mary keep on burning
Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been
And we're rolling on the river
Proud Mary keep on burning
Big wheel keep on turning
But I never saw the good side of the city
Tell me one more time
Big wheel keep on turning
People on the river are happy to give
Until I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
This is the way we do 'Proud Mary'
Working for the man every night and day
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river, the river
And I pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
I cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Rolling on the river
Say, we're rolling, rolling
So we're gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy
And we're rolling and we're rolling
Rolling on the river
I tell you, we're rolling, rolling
Then we're gonna do the finish rough
Big wheel keep on turning
And we're rolling, so we're rolling
Big wheel keep on turning
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
Proud Mary keep on burning
Big wheel keep on turning
Left a good job in the city
And we're rolling on the river
We're rolling on the river
If you come down to the river
I left a good job in the city
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
We always do it nice and rough
Say, we're rolling, rolling
Nice and easy but there's just one thing
(Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river)
Working for the man every night and day
But I never saw the good side of the city
Rolling on the river
'Til I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
And you don't have to worry if you got no money
Proud Mary keep on burning
